Each day we claim to love each other,
Yet we end up hurting those we cherish most.
Why are we the cause of their tears that fall like rain?
Why are we the reason for their sleepless nights?  

We often wrong them in ways we can’t explain,
Mocking the ones we vowed to cherish.
We tend to be the cause of their downfall,
The reason their smiles fade away.  

We bring them shadows of despair,
Leading them to lose faith in love;
We make them forget how joy feels,
And strip away their sense of self-worth.  

We diminish their self-esteem,
So if this is love, I shall turn away from it.
Because all of this is worse than hatred,
For when someone hates you,
They don’t pretend; they are real with you.

In the heart’s wild garden where passion grows,
Love blooms like roses, yet thorns it shows.
A tapestry woven with joy and despair,
Caught in sweet whispers, yet aching with care.  

Can love truly flourish where pain also dwells?
Do we find our solace in enchanting spells?
In the arms of another, do we find our peace,
Or does longing’s grip tighten, never to cease?

Questions unfurl like petals in spring,
Each heartbeat a song, a promise to sing.
For love is a paradox, both bitter and sweet,
A journey of healing, where sorrow and joy meet.

As we dance through the shadows, hand in hand,
Together we navigate this intricate land.
With every soft whisper, with every embrace,
We find in each moment a beautiful place.

Through laughter and tears, we stand by each other,
Two souls intertwined, as sister and brother.
In love's tangled web, both gentle and grand,
We learn that together, we truly can stand.

The first time I saw Abigail, she sang with grace,

Her voice seized my heart, a captivating embrace,

I joined in, entranced, my soul took flight,

From that moment on, I knew she shone so bright.

I wrote a poem to win her heart's delight,

She loved it, and my hopes took flight,

Though time passed slow, our campus paths did meet,

Tormenting nice, yet she wasn't mine to keep.

But still, I pursued her, heart beating fast,

Through verse and rhyme, my love did forever last,

She'd guide my words, with a gentle, loving hand,

In her eyes, my heart found a love so grand.

By the tennis field, we crossed paths once more,

Her radiant skin, a queen's majestic roar,

Her angelic voice, eyes sparkling with glee,

In joy, her heart sang, a love so carefree.

Our walk, our talk, a moment so pure and true,

I poured my heart out, my feelings shone through,

I knew in that instant, she was the one,

The missing piece, my heart had finally won.

Now, I proudly say, she's mine, my heart's desire,

Forever and always, my love will burn like fire,

Though forever's unknown, I'll hold on tight,

To Abigail, my love, my guiding light.

For in her melody, my heart found its home,

In Abigail, my love, I am never alone."

In the shallow waters where I drift and sway,
Lost in the currents, I’m swept away.
Academics, a puzzle with pieces that don’t fit,
Each lecture a whisper, a fleeting bit.

Love feels scripted, a scene on repeat,
A play without passion, where heartbeats retreat.
I watch from the sidelines, a ghost in the frame,
Yearning for meaning, yet feeling the same.

My mind, a tempest, a storm without cease,
In the quiet of night, I long for some peace.
But demons come dancing, with shadows in tow,
Singing their lullabies, a haunting tableau.

Sleepless, I wander through thoughts that confound,
In the depths of my heart, I feel so unbound.
Searching for answers in the dark of the night,
Hoping for clarity, a flicker of light.

Yet in this confusion, I know I must tread,
For even the shallow can lead to the deep.
With each passing moment, I’ll gather my thread,
And weave through the chaos, my soul to keep.

So here I stand, in this fragile embrace,
Learning to navigate this uncertain space.
With courage as my compass, I’ll find my own way,
Through the shadows and doubts, to a brighter day.

Dear Lord, they say I’m gonna reap what I sow,
Just because I hit it raw.
I know it was a bit *******,
But she left me no choice,
Spreading her legs and saying she saw trust in me,
So there was no need for protection, just a blind leap.

I was starving, craving more than just skin,
So I took my tool and strode right in—
Lord, it was too hot to pull out,
Like a bottle of gin, too intoxicating to doubt.
In that moment, I lost all control,
As my heart raced faster than the toll.

But now I sit with shadows of regret,
Wondering if this is a debt I’ll never forget.
Did I rush into a fire, burning bright?
Or was it passion, wrapped in the night?

Lord, my tool unleashed its venom inside,
And now I face the consequences of pride.
With each beat of my heart, the weight starts to grow,
I just hope to find peace in the seeds that I sow

I greet you, Love
You, the force that binds unknown hearts,
You, the spark that brings happiness to those who’ve forgotten its warmth,
You, the light that draws a smile from the shadows,
You, the healer of broken souls,
The one who gently wipes away our old pains.
You are the wonder we stumble upon,
In moments we never thought we'd find you.

But now I say goodbye to you, Love.
For now, they call you entanglements.
Once the bearer of joy, now sowing sorrow and strife,
You scatter hearts, leaving them fragile in your wake.
Trust is a word hollowed out because of you,
And our hearts are relics of what we once felt in your name.

Love, these days you come with conditions—
You've grown eyes, gazing only at the beautiful,
You linger only where riches shine.
You cling to material, to gold and glamour,
And fade when those things slip away.

Yet, I hold a memory of what you were,
A light that didn’t demand, a bond that was pure.
Though goodbye feels heavy, I carry your essence,
Hoping one day you'll return, unburdened by need,
As the Love we believed in, steady and free.
