I still love you
You left me, but I still stay by you,
You slapped me, yet I reach for your hand too.
You never said you loved me, it’s true,
But still, in my heart, I whisper I love you.
You called me names, yet I laugh it away,
In shadows of hope, I choose to stay.
You never call for me, that's how it may be,
Yet I write you my words, in silence, you see.
You slapped me, yet I reach for your hand too.
You never said you loved me, it’s true,
But still, in my heart, I whisper I love you.
You called me names, yet I laugh it away,
In shadows of hope, I choose to stay.
You never call for me, that's how it may be,
Yet I write you my words, in silence, you see.

The Echoes of Solitude
Darkness envelops me, a cloak of fear,
Shadows whisper, "You're alone, my dear. "
The world around me fades, a distant dream,
As I grapple with the weight of this unseen.
Memories of love ones, once so bright,
Now fade like embers in the fading light.
Their presence, once a beacon in the night,
Slips away, leaving me in endless plight.
Scars adorn my skin, a testament to pain,
A silent cry for help, a plea to regain
The strength to face the world, to find my way,
But the path ahead seems shrouded, day by day. ...

Scars adorn my skin, a testament to pain,
A silent cry for help, a plea to regain
The strength to face the world, to find my way,

In the Shadow of Stars
When I looked up at the endless night,
Stars twinkled like secrets whispered low,
I asked the heavens, “Where’s the light?
If God is real, where did you go?”
In my heart a storm was brewing,
A tempest of love turned bitter and wild,
For in those dark moments I felt so alone,
With blood on my hands and a heart defiled.
You were my anchor; you were my grace,
But addiction wrapped you in chains of despair,
Each promise made now lost in the space—
Where laughter once danced hangs silence and air. ...

With blood on my hands and a heart defiled.
You were my anchor; you were my grace,
But addiction wrapped you in chains of despair,
Each promise made now lost in the space—
Where laughter once danced hangs silence and air. ...

Cuts people don't see
In crowded rooms, I wander free,
A sea of faces pass me by,
Yet, I'm alone, lost at sea,
My soul drowning, unable to deny.
I grasp for relief, a fleeting reprieve,
With every cut, a scream I try to leave,
But like autumn leaves, emotions fall away,
And I'm left with nothing but disarray.
Seasons change, and I wear a grin,
A mask that hides the emptiness within,
The laughter echoes, hollow and unkind,
Longing for feelings I've left behind.
I call out to a higher power above,
Praying for solace, for endless love,...

And I'm left with nothing but disarray.

Feelings that I hide
I feel my skin burning with the fire of your gaze
Every time you look at me, I'm lost in a daze
I can't breathe, my chest tightens with desire
But I know I have to hide it, pretend I'm not on fire
I want to vanish from your sight, disappear without a trace
I don a mask to hide my true feelings, to save face
I can't bear to show you the wounds you've inflicted
The scars you've left with your harsh words, so conflicted
You don't see the pain you've caused, the damage done
You only see what you want to see, not the hurt I've spun
I...

Life is a puzzle
Life is a puzzle
A puzzle of time taking
Filled with confusing shapes
Beautiful when done
Hard when starting
Worthwhile when you are almost there
My heart speaks into a mirror
Seeing the regrets that has been made
Choosing not to speak its mind to
The problems that’s been saved.
Im a moving piece that doesn't know where to stay
Feeling lost in the sea of my feelings, trauma, thoughts
Not knowing where to belong
feeling not wanted
Drowning in my sorrows
Seeing love ones come and go as i sit alone
I scream but...

Would you remember me?
In whispers soft where shadows play,
I ponder if I could fade away.
Would the world halt, would time stand still,
A silent void where dreams once filled?
Would anyone notice, a fleeting trace,
Of a spirit once woven into this space?
Would they speak my name with a tender sigh,
Or let the echoes fade, as time flutters by?
Beneath the earth where the cold winds moan,
Would my story linger, or be left alone?
Would the flowers bloom, or wilt in despair,
For the heart that was brave, now scattered in air? ...

Lies
I tried to move past the lies you left in your stay
But they lingered in my mind, refusing to fade away
You promised me forever, but it was all just a game
Leaving me stranded in a sea of heartache and pain
I thought I could forget you, erase you from my heart
But your memory haunts me, tearing me apart
I tried to bury the love we once shared
But it resurfaces, leaving me ensnared
I left knowing I would never love again
Wounded by your deceit, my heart filled with disdain
I thought I could find solace in a new embrace
But your...

Love is a game
When love comes around, it dances in play,
A game of hide and seek, in bright hues of gray.
It whispers in shadows, a fleeting embrace,
Yet slips through your fingers, a delicate trace.
Like lightning in summer, it sparks with a glow,
But often it vanishes, a soft, gentle woe.
In laughter it lingers, in silence it dwells,
A mystery wrapped in unspoken spells.
You chase after dreams that shimmer like stars,
But love’s gentle touch is behind fragile bars.
It teases the heart with its intricate game,
A...

Beneath it all there was just one feeling
In the shadow of a fading day,
Where whispers linger, lost in the fray,
I gather fragments, pieces of light,
Searching for meaning in the heart of the night.
Ghosts of laughter echo through trees,
The wind carries secrets, a gentle tease,
Yet silence, a shroud, holds tight to my breath,
As I dance with the specters of love and of death.
Beneath the surface where colors drain,
I walk through memories, both joy and pain,
A tether to moments that slip through my hands,
Like grains of soft sand on...

changing myself
In a crowd where no one sees,
I stand beneath the weight of stares,
Like a shadow in a gallery,
A canvas painted with their fears.
A heart, vibrant but hidden deep,
Layered beneath the surface bright,
Knowing the echoes that cut and seep,
Through the silence of a lonely night.
I wear a mask of smiles and jest,
Laughing off the pain I feel,
Risking trust, a daily test,
In a world where wounds remain concealed.
I bend my soul to fit their mold,
Changing colors to blend in line, ...
