Hey, your poems are amazing and relatable
Thank you. This inspires me to keep writing. This means so much to me. Thank you. ☺️
Tears racing down my cheeks
I'm trying to find the words but I can't speak
My hands tightly clutching your shirt
Your eyes full of confidence and mirth
Here's another girl running after you
Foolish enough to believe that your promises were true
You smirked and pried me away
Saying, I'm too boring to make you stay
With that, you turned your back
An offhand comment wishing me luck
My knees buckled as I accept defeat
This is karma, so swift and sweet.
I feel the hatred in your eyes as you look at me
It was once love, now tell me, what do you see?
A monster with your bloodied heart in her hands
A cruel savage wreaking havoc in these lands
Oh I know, I know, an apology won't cut it
But please believe that I meant every bit
I told you, I told you, don't give me something I do not deserve
I'm only meant from afar, something to be observed
I am chaos, I destroy everything I touch
Now, the pieces shatter, as you resent me and watch.
I was running when you found me
With my heart filled of thorns and your head crowned with daisies
In the field of dandelions we met
Your tired eyes looked at mine with regret
With petals in my hands, and yours filled with blood
We part ways, losing what we never have.
Tell me another lie
Please, anything but goodbye
You are my poison
But you are also my cure
I'd rather live in your prison
Inhale you sweet and pure
For your taste, I'll now forever crave
I'm dying, but I don't want to be saved
So, drown me in your essence
This is how my soul will be cleansed.
People say love would either save or destroy
I thought I have a choice, to hurt or to enjoy
But I met you and I experienced both
You opened my eyes, yet you never kept your oath
You saved me from drowning in the endless sea
But when I fell, you weren't there to catch me
So now, I'm lying with my broken pieces in the ground
Wishing you've let me stay lost, never to be found
People also say that when love is true
It will give you hope for something new
Yet my heart breaks every time it beats for you
Tell me, have you lied to me too?
Suddenly, I've realized that I'm plainly stupid
To let myself be stricken by mythical cupid
Now, my heart will always have a void, a remembrance from you
I have only loved once and you never even knew.

My words might be beautiful, but they are empty
Devoid of soul, devoid of feelings, a low hanging fantasy
I use it as traps, trying to catch strangers' hearts
Trying to cram those pieces into my chest, hoping mine would start
My hands are so red, I have crossed too many lines
Does my guilt absolves me? Do I still have the right to call this pain mine?
As my self-made ghosts roam around this false cemetery,
As my body sinks with the weight of the burden I chose to carry,
Can I still forgive myself before this imaginary coffin turns real?
For all the wounds I've inflicted, for all the wounds I never learned to heal.
I can hear your laughter echo in my head
I can feel the love I wish to raise back from the dead
Your footsteps recede, you turn your back
I whimper and stare, still in shock
For even if I knew you're gonna leave
That we run out of stories to weave
My fragile heart can't still accept it
That it'll no more flutter to your smile, it won't no longer beat.
Untie your hands, love, use your feet
Let go of my waist, dance to your own beat
It will be clear, if only you'd wipe away your tears
For your happiness, I'd go and face my fears
The wind in my sails, we're at your stop
Promise me I'll at least be in your map.
