ever since I was a little child ,anger was my definition of love
I’ve always watched my family fighting and I thought that was love
I thought love was violent and loud
and that’s how it was supposed to be
I thought it was all done with prolonged fights and heated arguments
or it was like touching a fire flame not knowing it’d burn you
because whenever I attempted to look for ways or signs of love
I just remembered the raging noises and meaningless yet haunting  fights
nobody taught  me what love is or how it felt or how it should be
and when I loved someone it manifested in
all of my fury and rage until my words cut them deeper
And I confusingly wonder if I did something wrong or if love
should really be that way ?
if it should burn them alive and make them shed tears ?
but if it was really this way why whenever I love someone they leave ?
Oh am I a mad woman full of rage and ig that’s where it came from
Because I’ve never seen affection with my own eyes
or felt in my bones to be able to give that to someone else
Thank u guys for the likes I’m only 14 and Moroccan and this means everything. To me

u don’t ask about my day anymore ,I never expected that
from someone who saw my true colors
It started slowly each day we talk less and less
And it keeps progressing
Either your tone change or u text shortly
Soon enough you don’t answer my calls and DMs
time has passed,I tried to reach you again
I typed your name on the search bar
But nothing appeared
It just read “user not found “
I felt a deep hole in my heart but I had hope
I couldn’t believe that you could leave without a warning  
so I asked a mutual friend if you’d still talk to her
And how you were
when I thought you were dead
she said “ oh yes ,we’re still close friends “
that sentence echoed in my brain and haunted me for months
til it appeared in my dreams various times
That’s when I realized it has gotten bad
I realized you were far gone and I could never reach you
If you didint want to block me ,you wouldn’t
I know you
oh I mean I thought I Knew you back then

I can feel you all around
even when the wind heatens up
and get warmer that’s when
you wrap your arms around  me
as I sink into your body
I can never escape you

I’ve spent my life searching,
waiting for a hand to reach for mine,
but every glance is fleeting,
and every touch slips away.

I watch them all find each other,
like stars aligning in the sky,
while I stand alone in the dark,
hoping someone will see me,
but no one ever does.

I thought by now I’d know love,
feel the warmth of being someone’s home,
but I’m always just a passerby,
never the one they stay for.
never the one they choose for
Eternity

My heart aches for something
it’s never held—
a love that’s not meant for me,
a person I’ll never find.

Maybe I was meant to be alone,
to walk through life
with empty hands and heavy teary eyes,
never held, never chosen,
just waiting for something
that will never come.
and somehting that I always lose
when I cling onto it .

All these poets and broken souls
found their comfort in words
words ,not humans,not god
Not anything else
But words
Isn’t that powerful
how words heal their wounds ?
this one’s for u all , I’m so proud of all of you your words really pull out at my heart strings ,appreciate youuu !!!!

When you lay your head in your pillow,
and rest your soul
after  you cry yourself to death
I hope you reminisce about the time we spent together
and wish it wasn’t over
wish you could still feel my ghost
when you lay your head down,
I hope I’m all that’s on you mind
I hope I’m fully occupying it
since you say “i always think about you”
I hope me being there makes you feel better
and brings you to sleep
so you can only dream of me

— The End —
