Endless chains

.

A year older, none the wiser,

Same old tale, no new surpriser.

I try to break free, but it’s bigger than me,

Older, smarter, holds the key.

It wraps around, it always remains,

Heavy and cold, these endless chains.

Masterpiece

.

If you took a peek inside my mind

all you’ll hear are construction noises

it never quiets down, it never sleeps

it works through the night, it works overtime

I’ll always be a work in progress

but I wonder when will I become my masterpiece?

Repeating the past

.

It’s best not to react, to let them be,

Their choices will find them, inevitably.

I’m just so tired of the same refrain—

Same souls, new bodies, the outcome the same.

In each new chapter, they come disguised,

Different faces, but the truth’s revised.

I’m worn from chasing illusions they cast;

All ends the same, repeating the past.

Temporary love

.

Do you ever hold someone, knowing they won’t last?

Do you lie beside them, hearts insincere,

Knowing you’ll be gone by this time next year?

But don’t judge me for the walls I cast—

I learned it all when my mother passed.

In her goodbye, a truth held vast:

Nothing in this world is built to last.

Empty vessel

.

You’re an empty vessel, hollow and cold,

A lifeless thing, no warmth to hold.

From afar, you shimmer, a sight to see,

But up close, you’re nothing—just tragedy.

I’ll place you away, high in the attic,

Out of sight, your charm is static.

Far enough to forget, close enough to use,

A tool for chaos, a muse I’ll refuse.

Long gone

.

And just like that, you’re blacklisted,

Erased, forgotten, never existed.

What a waste—so blind, so cruel,

Your scattered feelings broke every rule.

Immature, lost, hiding behind,

A tangled mess of your own design.

By the time you find the lines you’ve drawn,

I’ll be a ghost—long, long gone.

The fool

.

I kept staring at the door, waiting for you,

Hoping you’d come, hoping it was true.

But you never showed, and I played the fool,

To wait, to believe—hope is so cruel.

When you apologized, I wore a disguise,

Pretending I never had tears in my eyes.

Hope, that liar, left me on a rope,

Swinging between despair and false hope.

I wished the rope would tighten, take me away,

Or the ground would swallow me whole that day.

But I act cool, unfazed, untouched by the chase,

Pretending I never longed for your embrace.

What a waste.

Bittersweet

.

Even if you’re gone, you never truly fade,

You linger in my heart, in every thought I’ve made.

My dreams are yours, my mind your home,

A love that stays, though I’m alone.

There was so much I wished you’d know,

A thousand words I couldn’t show.

But in another life, I hold your hand,

And we drift together, unbound by land.

Bittersweet, the love that remains,

A quiet ache, a soft refrain.

I love you forever, no matter how far,

I’m ready when you are, wherever you are.

Unlucky stars

.

By unlucky stars, we crossed our fate,

I clung to your words, your every state.

Each glance of yours, I made my art,

Until lucky stars tore us apart.

Now I look back, lost in the ache,

A version of me I wish I could shake.

What we had was a fleeting flame,

And I’m the only one to blame.

Walk away

.

I warped my perception a thousand times,

Excusing every slight as life’s cruel designs.

Told myself it wasn’t them, just pressure and strain—

But the truth was written in every refrain.

When someone shows you exactly who they are,

And what your worth looks like from afar,

Stop justifying, stop trying to stay—

Believe what you see, and simply walk away

If we were meant to be

.

If we were meant to be, we simply would,

If your heart was mine, you’d have understood.

I won’t wish upon a star tonight,

Or wait for words you’ll never recite.

No more hoping, no more schemes—

I’m done wishing, done chasing dreams.

Puzzle piece

.

I don’t think I fit in anywhere,

Like a puzzle piece misplaced,

Warped by time, my edges changed,

A shape no space can embrace.

I was never found, and never will be,

A stranger in each crowd,

Left to wander aimlessly,

Needing somewhere, somehow.

Ghosts

.

We’re just a couple of ghosts, drifting side by side,

Your life has passed while I wait for mine to arrive.

Silent and aimless in this half-lit scene,

I stand in the shadows, longing to truly be seen.

Just a dream

.

You’re not real, you’re just a dream,

but I’ll keep my eyes closed for a little while longer,

I don’t want you to disappear.

Your name

.

Your name is whispered in rooms your feet haven't touched yet,

Echoes of you linger, like a memory I can't forget.

Waves of your presence, though miles away,

Still stir the air, night and day.

In every corner, it's your voice I hear, Softly haunting, pulling me near.

Your name, a promise of something more,

Even when you're not there, I still adore.

I feel sorry for the one who loves you next

.

I feel sorry for the one who loves you next,

They'll never match what we had, it's too complex.

No matter how bright their flame might gleam,

It'll falter, dimmed by what we used to dream.

I taught you love's fire, now they'll learn the cost,

Chasing what's gone, forever lost.

You'll never find someone who stood so tall,

Even if they try, they'll never catch it all.

I thought he was the one

.

I thought he was the one, my saving grace,

But his heart was elsewhere, in some distant place.

I wasn’t the one and only in his hold,

Just another name on a list gone cold.

He’d visit me only when boredom crept in,

Keeping me waiting while he lived in sin.

I believed in love, but it wasn’t mine,

For his heart belonged where the stars don’t align.

One day

.

One day, I know it—I’ll become the part,

The version I played in dreams from the start.

I’ll stand tall, knowing I made it through,

All the extremes, every storm I knew.

That’s a promise, I’ll see it through.

Now that you’re gone

.

Now that I don’t have you, now that you’re gone,

I’m lost in the silence, where dreams feel withdrawn.

Whatever you left me for, I hope you can rest now,

Find the comfort you deserve, somewhere, somehow.

But your memory lingers, it stayed, and remains,

A ghost in my mind, etched deep in my veins.

I don’t know if I’m awake or caught in the ache,

But I know I’ll be there—at your wake.

Living through the shadows, the remnants, the pain.

Dry ink

.

My ink dried before I wrote you back to my life,

Before I could mend the edges of strife.

Now the pages remain incomplete,

And we are the story that will never meet.

It’s not love I feel, it’s a need,

A hollow ache, an unspoken plea.
