Gaping Void
Pass through these gates and move onwards Gaze into their eyes; they need not words The silence is so loud, it suffocates me A king is not what I seek nor what I need Love is too lonely to bear, yet still so sweet Lament is born within nothingness In advent, there is hope regardless So I shall bet it all on that Here I shall bind it Here it shall sleep In confinement, freedom gained I shall take this upon myself... The greatest sin, the greatest gift; veiled and chained... Sing Gloria di gravitas nox "Gaping Void"

Will someone notice?
🌹 I fake a laugh, hiding the weight of sadness that clings to my chest. I fake being okay, shielding my sorrow from eyes that might see too much. I fake strength, concealing the fear of a lonely tomorrow that whispers in the dark. Will someone notice? Will someone listen? Will someone look... read more

Tear across the Heavens

Did the tributes you sacrificed to gods pay the lives of your children? Did your soul; traded to... read more

It's been awhile (I think? I don't know)

LIFE ❤️
Life is a journey, unknown and wide, At every turn, a new story to bide. Sometimes joy, sometimes sorrow, A colorful world, we borrow. Though distant the goals, and paths rough, Still, we walk with hearts tough. Dreams we carry, courage we wear, For everyone, life is fair to share.

We get to be What we decide is our destiny No one else you see Determines fate for you or me The gift that we receive At birth that will is free Is written in stone permanently

You say you love the rain but you open your umbrella. You say you love the sun but you find a shadow spot. You say you love the wind but you close your windows. This is why I'm afraid when you say you love me....

If they shine too bright put on some shades don't throw it

Pain
This pain I received, hurts. My head was in your hands. I always believed it could be worse. I crumbled in the wake of your words. Each one of them, a scar in my brain. My body goes stiff like furniture. Broken, alone, and afraid. It still pours down, Under my cover of shade. Happiness you chose... read more

Life
Life is made up of choices. We listen to inner and outer voices. Some choices have us spinning. Some have others winning. Despite what we may think is right, how can we know what will bring us light? To live life is to learn. To desire what we feel we earned. To experience a feeling of yearning. As... (edited) read more

Shadows
Silence creeps, Light falls Who am I to seek the stars? While the shadows encroach upon these halls, How do we seem to aid? Do we truly seek to help? Or are we all falling upon ourselves in the stalls. Where oh where are we. The light never seems to find me.

“still alive” poem by me
I’m tired of being tired. I want it to be my turn. Worried free, stress free. I say to myself “what’s a little more hunger” as I’m already losing weight. I hate dealing with my depression but I have to. Until I feel better. Therapy appointments get me all choked up but I still go to help me. My... read more

Love tropes!
Okay as tragic as it is, my favourite love trope is star crossed lovers. Two people that just seem so perfect for each other that are just simply meant to be together but simply can't. It's a sad tragedy but I personally find it to be my favourite love story in novels 💞💞💞

Why I'm Scared to Ask You This
🌹 I hold my breath, the weight of words unspoken presses heavy on my chest. The silence between us feels like an answer I’m too afraid to hear. Do you love me, or am I just a fleeting moment, a remedy for your loneliness? Your promises shimmer like stars, distant, beautiful, but are they... read more

Unknown Place
🌹 Have you ever wanted to run, to vanish beyond familiar streets, to shed the weight of known faces, and step into a place where no one calls your name? A quiet dream, a pull to distant horizons, where silence wraps around like comfort, and every path feels new, untouched. Not for escape, but... read more

Quote from my most recent poem “Pointless”
“In silence I ponder, in darkness I drown, The echoes of laughter, now a haunting sound. To throw it all away, to sever the ties, To leave all the pain, beneath endless skies.”

Spring
🌹 Bent, but not broken, a coil within my spine pulls me back, taut with the weight of a thousand days. The bird above whispers freedom, its wings slicing through the pale sky, an echo of what could be. I stretch against the tension, the strain of gravity, the push of doubt. Each step forward... read more

When asked, "Tell me about the one who got away."
I sigh deeply.. Because your existence in my life was temporary.. I often wish that you never took that drive.. Because then you'd still be with me, and alive.. One moment you were here.. The next, crushed by drunk driver left alone and in your last moments probably riddled with fear.. So to the... read more
