WHEN LOVE IS LOST

When Love is Lost

Someday, you’ll understand every sad song that plays

When the one you love finds someone else to hold dear.

Then, maybe you’ll know why some choose silence over breath,

Seeing their only light shine for someone else,

A gaze that shuts out the world,

A smile reserved for a soul that isn’t yours.

Maybe you’ll feel the pull to wander, to roam

In endless circles, searching for a solace

That was never meant to be found.

Perhaps you’ll realize why the ones we try to forget

Reside in the deepest corners of our hearts,

Returning uninvited, at every quiet hour.

Yet still, I hope you find that someone

A presence so pure they chase away your fears,

Quieting the monsters within,

Without needing to change a single part of you.

The Friend I Never Chose

-
ANGER One time , I saw you with your friends, accompanied by those random girls you toyed with. I wasn’t alone either, and you knew we’d just get drunk. But that’s what you hate most about me. And there you were, holding another girl by the waist Saying more with that than words ever could. I was upset. My friends pulled me away. We never said good night. Your team was playing that night, But I couldn’t sleep while everyone else drowned in liquor. I slipped into my friend’s closet, thinking of how to punish you. So I popped the pills. The saddest thing that night? They found me before the knockout. So they saved you, I guess from being haunted. FEAR You stopped talking to me. Stopped picking up my calls You knew how much that kills me. But you did it anyway. You lived like I was already history. So I got drunker. Sleep became a stranger , nightmares came in your voice. So I stayed out longer, drinking deeper. Even the cat's cry scared me. The wi...

It Was Fine… Until You Showed Up"

"It Was Fine… Until You Showed Up" You know, sometimes you don’t see the warning signs Not until you're burned and bruised. Sometimes people cry and remember you Only when you cross their mind. The words you spoke were simple, But today they sting like a swarm of bees. These same words we toss around now and then Yet they cut deep when I think of them. I was too far gone to notice The dangers lurking all around. I was unreachable when your friends Pointed straight at the arrow heading for me. I forgot pride comes before the fall. Now those words make sense, Because I was the girl in the mirror. Your lies coated every truth, Wrapped around me so tight I no longer know the way home. Warnings meant nothing until now. And wishes… they don't have wings, do they? It’s crazy how I still clung To the idea of you, Even after realizing You were the devil of my soul. I thought you were worth the pain, But maybe I was having too much fun To see the damage. Now my heart is bound F...

"When Stars Stop Listening

-
One time, I stayed awake, telling each star about you. I made them pray with me. I wrote to the moon, again and again, confessing how deeply I loved you. I would sit and dream,  about a happy ever after. Life felt good. But then the clouds came and the stars disappeared with you. My heart broke. So I began praying to the clouds, begging them to help me forget. The fairest said love was real, that if I kept hoping and wishing, You’d return to me. But I wasn’t cautious. I didn’t know that our minds could create demons. Now, I swear I take each wish back. I was led astray by my mind for you. I know better now. They say pain brings out your best And maybe it did. After all the long nights, crying, breaking things, heartaches, headaches I promised myself it was over. Time may have led you to me, But not for good. The excuses I made, The mistakes I carried, The risks I took for you They scarred me. And yet, I'm glad my body is falling apart because maybe then I...
