#emotionalwaves
Show up for yourself: a slight show-off… a showboat, afloat on the current of emotions that try to capsize you. I inhale, and it tastes amazing; carrying moist lips, saliva sweet with self-speech— I speak greatly of myself ...until the praise turns on me. Pleasure makes me weak; a whole week overwhelmed by the sound of my own name. A beautiful wound— I swallow you whole; heart first… through my chest and echo. Once an innocent body, screaming into a room that only learned to listen after it heard noise. Group texts succeeds and grow grotesque; to **** seeds from something meant to grow— spitting flowers onto ground that forgot how to hope. In the pursuit of self-gratification, beauty becomes something we surrender; the grandest role— the Pretender. I am a quiet Avenger with no team to assemble; just mirrors to remember what I resemble. To consider me showing skin and scars alike; like confidence cut short— a skirt too brief to hide the hurt. Short on time, tall on pride— quick to climb, faster to hide; keen to seek, but softer to speak, voicing the meek with a voice that leaks before it thinks. Deep breath in— take it all, child… this life doesn’t perform, it reveals.

Mirrors to Remember Me
Why are these sudden emotions revolving inside me now, when my whole life was the same — nothing special happened before, nothing’s happening now, and nothing seems likely to change ahead? Yet somehow, my heart feels heavier tonight.

A Heavy Heart Without a Reason
Oh, the fragile taste of love— Sick of love, minus the love sickness, Sea-sick, bracing through someone Else’s emotional waves, especially Daily texts that land like silence In a forest of dead branches Let’s leave the small talk— "Oh, how was your day" I really won’t feel your words, but I’ll answer them anyway _To keep in touch_ Feel insecure with every hug, Cut my tongue, bruise my lips — I don’t taste much love anymore, Excuse my __Glass Teeth.__

Glass Teeth
Half asleep, yet wide awake, Dreams of you I still partake. I wish to speak, to hear you near, But silence is all I hold dear. In quiet nights, your thought won’t break. A haunting peace I cannot shake.

In Silent Nights
I found you in fragments, not in face—but in feeling. In verses you left on passing winds, soft, sorrow-laced, and healing. A selenophile’s sigh beneath moonlight, your words, aching like autumn’s breath— and I? Just a stranger who mistook your sadness for depth. I wrote not to be seen, but to leave a trace in your night. A quiet thought, a flicker— never meant to become your spotlight. But maybe I lingered too long, near a silence not mine to keep. Stepped into spaces meant for no one, where your shadows learn to sleep. And now I retreat, with hands in pockets, like an evening walk gone still— where I should've just sat beside, not stirred a soul against its will. So take these words like rain on stone, they'll vanish before they stain. Maybe it’s guilt, maybe it’s overthinking— or maybe... just love without a name. This is the last you’ll hear from me, no echoes, no reply— just a soft goodbye folded in poetry, and a hope that you reach the sky
