bed of roses
v Oct 2018
love is not a bed of roses

because looks may be deceiving

it may look attractive and inviting

beautiful petals, bold and red

however laying upon it, you would sink into the thorns

the pain of being impulsive

the pain of taking the easy way out

love is more like a bed of needles

it may appear painful at first

being tied down, sacrificing your hobbies, time, money

but laying upon it would show stability

and the best relationships overcome their hardships

for the greater good

for each other

life after -
v Sep 2018
looking into the future, i see nothing

no light, no start, no happy ending

a darkness that consumes hope

death, debt and broken dreams

what's so good about the future

because all i see is a broken me

her love
v Dec 2022
should she visit my grave after i pass

let her be

let her walk up to where i was buried

and watch how her presence would bring me life

drowning
v Jul 2019
they say drowning is the worst way to die

you hold your breath as long as you can

but your lungs give out as you gasp for air

but you know it's a lie

water begins to fill your lungs

you're choking and your mind screams for help

but nobody comes

in the dark abyss of the ocean
keeping a theme among the past few titles

happiness
v Jun 2022
there is a fine line between sacrifice and compromise

but for me, it did not matter

because the decisions i made for you was worth it

your joy was mine, and so was your sorrow

this, however, was not the same for you

my suffering was mostly my own

maybe my dependency on you for my own happiness was what led me to my own downfall

so for that, i have but a single message for you

and it is that i wish for you to always know unhappiness

notes
v Sep 2023
read a note that was written to me

of someone whom i hold close

yet now they feel distant

their words felt desperate as if grasping for help

yet their words were of encouragement

hoping the best for me

i remember them feeling alone

feeling like i was all they had

they wanted to be saved

they knew i couldn’t

so all i could do was write a note for future me

relationships pt.11
v Apr 2021
i’ve loved you

for all this time

we’ve spent months, years together

i’ve tried to remain ignorant

i know i’m not good enough, not smart nor hard working enough

but i’ve tried my best to be the best so that we could hopefully last forever

~~~~~~~~~~

but one night

as we talked about marriage

i was excited and went on about how we could get an apartment

about all the boring things like finances

but then you said

“my parents expect you to get a degree, to go to university”

a shattered reality

if its too difficult, if its just easier

just find someone that’s better

someone who isn’t me
a long hiatus but heartbreak fuels my creativity

starlight
v May 2022
i promised you the world

yet you wanted the stars

and when i started reaching up for them

you chose to journey without me

having me watch you leave from afar

relationships pt.12
v Apr 2022
it’s difficult to tell you the things i wish to say because it may not fully convey my truest feelings to you

i’m sad because i have become nothing to you;
you who once thought i was the most important aspect in your life

i promise you that i will always remember this once in a lifetime love and that i will always have the hope that you may choose me once again
she finally left me
thank you all who have ever read any of my poems
this may be my last

relationships pt.10
v Mar 2020
you took it from me

all the time that i had spent

something i can never get back

the money i spent i can get back on my next pay cheque

~~~~~~~~~

i didnt want to tell you a joke

you forced me to

a joke you didnt like so you got mad

and now we've blocked each other on everything we have

~~~~~~~~~~

removed all your pictures

removed you from my life

may have accidentally deleted some but why would you care

you dont love me

you dont cherish me

you took me for granted

our best
v Jul 2020
you did your best; but it wasn’t enough

but it was your best

you put your all

every ounce of effort

even if it was not perfect

it’s as perfect as you can put out

— The End —
