I dont know

theres no need to be scared knowing we all gotta go theres no need for me losing it over seeing it in your eyes it was already too late too long ago to repair the damage only lord knows how you've manged you was one of a kind one of few to understand the language of my heart all alone in the dark i prey one night we'll be right there dancing across the stars if only dreams came true id be right there reciting how your scars destroyed every wall that rose from my wounds everynight grieving over this worlds lies for everynight I looked you in the eyes and seen what could've been really leaves me spinning I dont where am headed but I carry on for the meaningful pieces of the picture I cant describe the feeling of understanding the richer colors only shield onlookers from seeing the depths of your despair if only they could see you wear your heart on sleeve

Candid Love

She who cries silently. She shines bright, though behind her eyes, She’s filled with fright. A heart so fragile and tormented- Scarred arms and fatigued eyes, She’s scared to be harmed. Her past is tomenting her, Though she continued to give love her all. She gave and gave and gave- Until... read more

Cave: part 3 of 4

Afternoon poem Day 1.5

You were meant to be a life for me not a meeting, not a season, but the quiet answer to a question I never dared to finish. Now I lie beneath the lamps, their light trembling like a guilty conscience, in a garden of roses that knows too much of blood and too much of prayer. I resemble a knight... read more

In the midst of a life that feels deadlocked, I learn to breathe from small, silent creatures. They lie quietly, as if they know that fatigue doesn't always require an explanation. From those silent backs, I understand that life may be fractured, direction may be blurred, but the heart still... read more

All these dating apps got me thinking…

Do similarities matter? Would our mirrored interests, our shared routines, bring us closer? Would they be enough to chain us down for life, enough for you to want eternity with me? Would it matter that you tick all my boxes? Would it matter? Would it be enough? Could this be a fantasy I could... read more

The silent joys

I grew tired of hoping, of waiting for more, Of knocking my heart on a locked-looking door. Each expectation a promise half-made, Each “maybe someday” another debt paid. So I dropped all the questions, the "when" and the "why" , Not out of courage—just too worn to try. And there, in the quiet... read more

I let them think they could read me. I let them believe I was the game. But I’m the mirror, not the muse. The enigma, not the prize. 🎶 Voiceover: Original poem inspired by “Illusion” –Dua Lipa. (edited)

Don't get too nervous when you meet someone. If you keep tensing up it's because you're trying to hard. So stop trying so hard and things will work out eventually. Relax and you will know what to do.

A shadow fell across my face, and I didn’t move. This is how I survive: Soft fire, still steel. You see a quiet girl. But I know the battles I’ve walked out of. Still here. Still beautiful. Still dangerous.
