#leftbehind
people leave me like wind leaves the gate. pushed open, unlatched. shapes altering to blur as i watch them dissolve in the distance. i wish to crown myself the ice queen i once was— safe, untouchable, heart locked behind glass. then the silence wouldn’t bite. and i wouldn’t lie awake— wondering why the hell their world moved on, and why mine stayed.

late-night coronation.
I feel stuck. I am rowing but my boat doesn’t move; I am trying but it's never enough; it is two steps back and one to the front; missing assignments pile above my shoulders the load is making me bend and fall to the ground and my face is up against it, looking at everyone else above me, getting kicked at as they move forwards without me. Because I am stuck and I can't move or breathe or barely exist, How do you expect progress when it is this hard to live?

Stuck
I remember the way I screamed, While you walked free, so redeemed. You left me crawling in the dirt, But I won’t break, I won’t get hurt. You played me like a worthless toy, Just to shatter, just to destroy. Left me bleeding, torn apart, Now taste the wrath you chose to start. You built a throne on my broken bones— Now watch it crumble under your own stones. No more mercy, no more cries, I'll rise while your kingdom dies.

Rot in the Ruins
Everyone gets tired of me at some point, Then eventually, they’ll leave. They all do. Sometimes happy memories hurt the most. The way you look back and see the hints. Those little moments that reveal everything. I constantly feel so ******* unwanted.

42/6 "They Leave"
He walks alone, tracing the places where her footsteps once lingered. The city feels borderless, an empty world where her laughter once echoed. The silence is deafening, the nights long, the pain deep. He finds himself writing her into his poetry, his art. But she is no longer there to read it. Time passes, and yet, she stays—an unfinished note in his heart, a whisper in the wind. Somewhere in another city, she feels it too. But love is cruel, and fate never promises a second chance. They were never meant to last—only to leave a mark on each other’s soul, an ache in the rains of time.

Post 4: "The Aftermath – Loneliness & Echoes" (Loss, Unfinished Love)
Dust had long settled on that heart, It barely works and full of rust, Though it was only used once After a misery it was Thrown aside like a trash; It is an antique with no value And never would have one No matter how much time passes— A piece that would stay on the shelf Until it crumble into dust.

that heart on the shelf
You are a masterpiece I am a broken piece I love everything about you You are very close to my heart Do you also feel the same? I hope you also think about me My feelings are visible As you read this letter Even though we love each other Yet it's not enough for us to live together So I share my emotions in sentences And finally closing our chapter in my last words... I loved you~

I don't know
I want to fade into the walls and hide, like memories or bad dreams or a fleeting look we think we spy among crowded eyes. A pipe dream, to live up to even memories of those who’s been before me, or even left the room before me, even while my heart still pumps that cold, black, Fluid round my veins, I’ll never be as good as them. Or funny. Or handsome. The only impressive thing about my legacy is the pain it causes me. Irony. I’ll never live up to their memory, my life almost ethereal, sounds and smells and sights flow through me, not too me. Like I walking memory I wander through the streets I call my home, my mind, doomed to tread the prints of those greater, more refined, who’s time was spent with people who would look at them, not through them. Like I am a hazy window into the rest of the world. Those who came before me, who’s thrones I travel by and through, their legacy, endless in its torment of my opaque existence, became my legacy, of laughter, at my expense, ridden for the brief high it gave. All I leave this meagre and transparent world, is a shadowed memory, and words.

Legacy and Memory
Never fall in love with a poet. They'll cut you with pretty words And leave your heart bleeding out like ink on a page.

Left Broken
Do or don't? Just get it done! Cause I don't wanna be The only one Left behind The task at hand? It is what God demands Cause He doesn't want me To be The only one Left behind Will I succeed? I am sure indeed Cause it's the Lord's will It is what He does need The assurance for me That I won't be Left behind Halt no more? Of this I am sure Cause if I do not My spirit will rot Then I will find Myself Left behind Out of time With no reason or ryhme? Cause if so, I'm not worth a dime If I wind up being The only one left behind Spiritual warfare? There's a battle at hand To warn all the others An honor so grand Cause all of us know We prefer Not to be ****** Its time to go And all of us know Cause its time to change direction And don't go with the flow So take up your paddles And vigorously row Row and row And take part in the grind And in due time You will find Yourselves Not left behind Tis my warning My warning for all of you Cause the time is coming I know this to be true The time for each and every One of us to find Which ones will be left The ones left behind

Left Behind
Black hole Broken heart You've taken sacred love and torn it apart Now I'm left In utter darkness Did you ever love me from the start? Black hole Broken heart Love is null Torn apart Black hole Broken Heart Your love is void Love did depart Now I'm trapped In nothingness You surely did impart Love does not just "disappear" Love conquers all and conquers fears Love does endure so many tears Love is victorious the moment it appears Therefore, I must believe this one fact alone As my beating, pain filled heart does groan That you have abandoned me and turned your heart to stone Along with the absolute apathy you have surely shown Now, in a black hole With a broken heart Love did die Love torn apart I've made mistakes Can I restart?

Dead Love
"As long as I don't lose you I am ok" Those words will forever be embedded in my brain, because you still left me what a shame.

To future me...
The petals of spring sank beautifully in the puddles of rain as she traded her sneakers for heels, entered the back of the black car and drove away for the last time.

New Beginnings
If my feelings were written in words The lines would never end A never ending story Of pages filled with nothing And everything at once As if my life was nothing more And without wouldn't be at all Now everything that is Sits quietly in your hand And without a single glance I am put back In just another ones dusty shelf Again

Lonely shelf
Hunters come back to haunt who doesn't exist, his ghost is still penetrating through her shallow mind, for a thousand years of playing knives, she left there, undesired. She thought "that would be enough" it would be his revenge or punishment, her vial was empty but he was a bloodlust, words could cut and anguish could be unbearable,  but tears will run dry. The days turn into dust; those memories she recollect if he is seem to love again maybe, she will find her faith and her place. She lost in darkness with broken dreams she knew, it will only leads her to death; Why do people keep coming back on those things they left behind?

Undesired
You don’t know how I felt How you felt How I felt How we both felt the same All the anger and pain From your sick little game You called love You don’t know how I loved How I yearned How I craved To be something I wasn’t Someone who doesn’t Get lost in the present With you You don’t get how I felt How I was How I am You made me something else Changing ourselves Something I never wanted To be You don’t know how I hated How I loved How I hated Your bittersweet words That were more of a curse Than a blessing for someone Like me You don’t know how I cried How I sobbed in the night How I lost all the light All of it trapped inside of your hands I cried from the pain How my soul is forever stained By the darkness you seeped into My heart These tears aren’t for you They never will be They are mine for only me and myself For the hatred you left Behind on that cliff As the wind swept you farther away I cry for myself How I caused you to leave How I made you feel how you did How I didn’t understand How I couldn’t understand What you were always telling me “I love you” You saved me, then hurt me Loved me, deserted me Left me behind to rot I loved you for how you were You loved me for what you saw And for what I only showed and wanted you to see You don’t know I felt And now, you never shall I don’t know how you felt all the same It’s not fair how you left and now I have to live without you You ruined my life Committed suicide Destroyed my pride Left me behind to die alone in this world without you You don’t know how I felt How I hoped to tell “I love you” to you someday I’m the cause of your hate You just couldn’t wait long enough for me to say Those three words You don’t know how I felt And these tears aren’t for you They’re for me and all of my failures Abandoned here in this world I can’t be myself ever again You were the disease I wanted to catch The only cure for me

Enough
I'm lying here, my thoughts are scary The lessons had I want to bury Not one but two the same mistakes I dove in deep, now what a mess I do not wish to change the past The things I said, I feel embarrassed Layed out my feelings out to you Rejection stabbed my heart right through You said you care, that's ******** really The way you let me go so freely Embrasing love you have for her Until the day she'll want you gone When that day comes, I'll be no more I won't know what she has done Plans don't work out the way we want I hope that you just don't get hurt Because of fear of leaving her You tell yourself you love her more That things'll get better, she'll keep a job If not, you'll move to another land And that's your life plan, baby her So stick with that, I've shut my door I can't escape, we work together I'm sure that I won't last in there forever The beauty is, I'll learn to cope You've pulled away, there is no hope The lies you told, that shattered me I do not trust you, stay away from me Maybe one day she'll know what happened But you'll tell her, I never mattered She'll never know you loved me once And saw our future in advance I told you how compatible we are But I was wrong, we're not by far Don't call me friend, we're way past that Damage control you're trying won't last I do forgive you but all you'll see now Is a fake smile on me, in my eyes you fell down Got myself into this mess and now I'm stuck Farewell my dear friend, we really ****** up

Repeated lesson
The sky over peach hill Was dulcet last I looked, Without a hint of clammy March In the middle of a bright July The sky over peach hill Had clouds surrounding the kites, My girl and I would stare for hours As hot-air balloons passed by That sky over peach hill Ever soft, ever sweet. That was the place where I found That life passes in a sigh The peaches fell, And august came. My girl went away, I was left behind. The sky over peach hill Looks a little darker now. But I know once winter ends The kites will fly again
