Just words These are just words. A storm in the distance Advancing with rage Escalating in time Take the power away. Just words. High pitch shriek Piercing ears Traveling the connection Between head and heart These are just words Spitting out the mouth Tornados Harmless breathe Butterfly wings flap Lethal turning. Just words Beauty that seems to fly from angry hands Beat the things Only supernaturally touched These are just words Hurled in a corner Knees to chest Just words Raging war Settling scores These are just words Tearing like paper Childhood taken Just words Target set to **** Bullet bursting These are just Words! Rivers flowing Shame imploding Just words. Regret for tomorrow Can't take back what stains These are just words Memories flicker Weight upon the shoulders Just words Empty, lifeless These are just words Nothing that can come to cut the heart To chain the soul. Destroy the life. Just words Repeat, repeat These are just words.......

Lifetime scars
She hit me and then said I was lucky she didn't hit harder. she taught me to apologize for making her mad. for existing wrong. she didn't raise me. she broke me, and then rolled her eyes when I limped.

What She Called Love
The same date returns, and so do the tears, pouring quietly into my soul. I hate the days that remember me. Days that whisper pain like it never left. Sometimes I wish I was never born into this world, where emptiness settles inside a broken heart. This heaviness in my chest steals my breath, and I ask the same questions— why? Why do those around me notice me only when I falter, yet look away when I give them everything I am? People disappoint me. Family disappoints me. Friends disappoint me. And I disappoint myself— for staying kind, for caring too deeply, when love was never returned the same way.

Same Date
I wish I could taste our love — But the truth is, I bit my tongue; From the words I was too scared to deliver. I wish I could see our future — Yet I get so blind in love; Of what’s real and what I only hoped for. I wish I could touch your smile — But I’ve lost touch with my joy; Holding something I no longer feel inside. I wish I could hear your tears — But the sea cries more than us; Salt waters heavier than any confession. I wish I could smell your intentions — But love-sickness fogged my instincts; Two hearts coughing through a failing truth. But I get the sense that I'm still Falling deeper in love with you. _And that doesn't make any sense!_

The Senses I Lost to Love
I climbed out of a well and swore I’d never go back. But this one is different— it carries the bitter taste of suffering.

Another Well
Voy a romper algo, O voy a romperme a mi, Estoy harto de sentir esto, Cada que mencionamos temas así Cada que no destacó en nada, Cada esperanza de alguien en que participe, Ya, simplemente no soy popular, A nadie le importo. Nunca dirán algo al público, Solo les importa los "amigos" Y ahí es donde surgen los "actos" Ojalá volver al pasado. -S.F

Cicatrices de Soledad
She seemed like someone who I was looking for my whole life, But who knew she was like something we call a knife. Each day I watch her walk with him, a silent scar, Smiling like moonlight, yet feeling so far. And here I stay—cut by hope, from just behind the bar.

Cut from Afar
Stopped writing in diaries... Fearing someone might read them. Gave up typing on Word documents... Afraid her privacy might be shattered. She let people walk away — Without sharing a word, Not because she didn't want to, But because she was done with sympathy... Something she had seen too much of in life. And so, she grew silent. Tired. She let it be... Until her heart whispered: "You're safe with me." Privacy restored. But the heart grew heavier than ever.

The Unspoken Pages
Is this the end— the final wilt of a flower that never bloomed? My name fades like ink washed away by merciless rain, my dreams crumble like abandoned sandcastles at dusk. Where is the wildfire that once roared inside me? Now I am a candle, melting without a flame, a shadow chasing a sun that never rises for me. What is the point of pain if it never runs dry? It stretches like an endless ocean, each wave heavier than the last, dragging me deeper— where light cannot reach. I walk a road no one else takes, where streetlights are ghosts, where even the wind forgets to whisper. The river beneath the bridge writhes, never still, never calm, just like me. God, was it too much to ask Wished for some hurdles to lessen, But even the roadside grass Knows no mercy under the weight of passing feet I never wanted to beg, but mercy tastes sweet when you are starving. Still, no hand reaches out, no voice calls my name. I tried to belong, but I am the night sky— swallowing all color, never reflecting back the light. Let me breathe— but the air is an ocean, and I am drowning in silence. Want someone to skip a beat of my heart Want my soul to rest without vanishing? Want someone to notice—before I am gone? God, is it really too much to ask?

Is This the End?
He holds a blade in his hands ( A sharp and thinner ) Will he cut his own finger Or will he cut another He is been told -Past & Now He is been scolded - Past & Now ( First for use, Now for the Plough) "Oh , he went to hurt another?" (The blood is crusted on his nails And blade !) Now will he wash off the blade to tell If He cut his own finger Or did he cut another He swings the blade And dried off And then, He said " she was the target" And She had a blade She said calmly " My blade is blunt & so I evade" (The boy remembered what they told They said everyone lie and they pretend But he thought she was different And didn't defend He said "hold my hands" She looked smiling, And had her hands lend She swirled her fingers And blades with them, She stabbed her blade In his fingers As she said "The end" He got up and walked away And In the forest, He soaked his own blood On the blades and then walked away) They asked him Did he cut his own finger Or did he cut another He replied " She was strong and had a big Shiny blade " " She lied that it was blunt And she may evade" " Though I knew she was lying And so I fought her with my own Blade" " She stabbed me twice but I prevailed" They remarked him , For that he cut a finger another And gifted him a new blade, He spent his days in regret Scratching the blade And with his nails ( Becoming ****** and erased) He was proud for the new blade He thought it will make him Anew and remade But whenever he saw it It made him recall "The smile of the girl And The lies in her swirl".

Blades of betrayal (A man so sinner - proud one second and regrets another )
