I’m a man of my word,
I’ll love her till I die.
She swore the same,
Now I see, I swore alone.
Aymeric Jan 25
I want you, yet you’re a ghost in my arms,
A dream that fades with the dawn.
I want to die, yet cowardice binds me.
My hands too weak to end this ache.
So I live, cursed to wander this earth,
Craving a touch that time won’t return.
Aymeric Feb 11
There once was a boy, good and kind,
A hollow heart, a muted mind.
No laughter, no tears, no joy to give,
A quiet life he chose to live.

He waited long for love to find,
A spark to wake his frozen mind.
And one day, she appeared,so bright,
She filled his shadows full of light.

Her smile, a sunrise, burned away
The empty haze of every day.
She spoke, and colors filled the air,
He felt alive, she placed them there.

But love, unspoken, takes its toll,
She left, and ripped apart his soul.
She didn’t see the life she’d made,
She walked away; he watched her fade.

Now darkness clouds his every thought,
A love so pure, but all for naught.
Betrayed by hope, abandoned by grace,
His hollow heart’s a darker place.

In that void, a voice did call,
A velvet whisper through it all:
“Let’s make a deal, a bond, a dance,
I’ll give you peace, just take my hand.”

No faith remained, no trust, no plea,
Just endless night, a vast, dark sea.
And so, he bowed to the devil’s charm,
And took his hand with no alarm.

Together they waltzed through shadows deep,
The boy, the devil, the secrets they keep.
No heaven, no light, no stars above,
Just endless dark o god o no

I’ve thought of ending it all,
but how could I make you feel that weight?
The thought alone tears me apart,
to leave you with that kind of fate.

I can’t walk away without a word,
without letting you know I tried.
So here I am, living in the quiet,
with this pain I can’t confide.

I call your name, yet space swallows the sound,
A voice lost where echoes aren’t found.
You were my sun, now you fade away,
Drifting further, night over day.

You left, I unraveled.
Not gracefully, not quietly,
tore myself apart in the open
where the world could see.
You wouldn’t have recognized me then.
I wasn’t the boy you loved anymore.
I was a shadow dragging his own weight,
a ghost haunted by his own body.

I said things,
did things,
became someone even I couldn’t stomach.
But that wasn’t me.
That was the wreckage
of losing you.

you don’t just leave someone.
You take pieces with you.
the pieces you took,
the ones that made me whole.

Now I sit with the ruin,
misunderstood and misplaced,
I’d give anything,
anything,
to show you
I’m still him.
The boy you once loved.
If you’d just let me,
I could be him.

I gave everything, your everything faded away.
I burned, while your fire was tamed to gray.

Love should be balance, but ours was theft,
You took it all, and I was left.

A quiet ruin, a hopeless plea.
Unrequited, it’s killing me.
Aymeric Jan 31
I’m lost in chaos, her shadow still near,
A love unreturned, but she’ll always be here.
I scream in silence, my heart torn apart,
Chasing her memory, she’ll never leave my heart.
Aymeric Feb 12
The voices say your name.
Or is it me?
Is it you?
Or is it me?

I can’t tell anymore.
All I know is they won’t stop.
And neither will you.
Or me.
Aymeric Jan 30
Your name is the weight I carry still,
a memory that lives, that never will.
I still feel you in the space between
the quiet moments and what might’ve been.

The world moves on, but I remain,
a shadow holding on to the pain.
No time will change the way I stand,
a heart in ruins, still reaching for your hand.
Aymeric Feb 8
What am I,
if I can’t let her go?
If others move on,
find new faces,
new lives,
but I stay here,
chained to a ghost
I don’t want to forget?

Do they love less?
Or do I love too much?
Did I lose myself
in her laugh, her touch,
the way she existed
so effortlessly near me?

I don’t want to move on.
I don’t want a new story.
I’d rather love her
with all the weight of this ache.
for years, for decades,
for the rest of my life.

If that’s wrong,
then what am I?
Aymeric Feb 2
She won’t return, I know it’s true,
Yet my hands still reach for a love that withdrew.
My heart still beats, though it has no will,
For waiting does not hurt,,,waiting kills.

No footsteps, no voice, no sign,
Just empty hours that whisper she’s fine.
And if she’s fine while I decay,
Then what is left of me to save?
Aymeric Feb 2
I lost you to the colours of your truth,
A heart that beats for freedom,
But shatters me in two.

— The End —
