Thirteen Years
Thirteen years ago today,The world somehow kept turning.The sun still rose, the evening came,While my whole heart was hurting. Thirteen years of birthdays passed,Of ordinary days,Of moments I have wished for youIn countless different ways. You missed so much – or maybe not.I like to think you’ve seenThe woman I have had to be,And everything…

The Empty Room
September 27, 2026 I think I am beginning to understandthat some things simply do not happen,no matter how desperately you want them to. Some people spend their livesbeing loved in the way I always imagined,someone reaching for them in the dark,someone coming home to them,someone choosing themagain and againwithout ever needing to be convinced. Maybe…

Autopilot
September 26, 2026 I wake up every morning, but I never quite arrive,I do the things I’m meant to do, but don’t feel much alive.I answer when they call my name, and when I should, I smile.I play the part convincingly – I’ve practiced for a while. I work, I help, I listen. I carry…

To Deserve This
What did I do in some other lifeTo earn this kind of endless strife?Whose heart did I abandon thereTo wake up owing this despair? Did I once leave someone in the cold,Break every promise that I told?Did someone wait the way I do,Watching, waiting, starting new? Because surely pain this fucking deepMust be a debt…

Missing You
I miss you in the morning, when the world is barely bright,I miss you in the silence that settles in at night.I miss the way your presence made ordinary days feel new,And every little moment somehow led my thoughts to you. I miss the way you held me, the safety of your arms,The softness underneath…

Limbo
I cannot seem to stop these tears, they fall throughout the day,And nothing that I do can make this aching go away. They say that crying brings relief, that sorrow drains with rain,But every tear just leaves me numb, still drowning in the pain. I hate this place between us where I never seem to…

Intensity
September 1, 2026 I used to think that love should burn,A raging fire at every turn.That if it didn’t shake my soul,It couldn’t possibly make me whole. I learned to measure love in ache,In sleepless nights and hands that shake.In racing hearts and stomach drops,In desperate starts and sudden stops. Intensity became my proof,A lightning…

A World Collapsing
July 15, 2026 Tonight the stars forgot to shine,and silence swallowed every sign.The little world we came to knowbecame a place I couldn’t go. But I went in anyway,Knowing you chose not to stay,Consumed with thoughts and wondering why,I wasn’t worth for you to try. You knocked upon my hopeful heart,then somehow chose to drift…

Resilience
They say that pain leaves fingerprints,that trauma marks the soul,that broken roots and shattered homesextract a heavy toll. By all accounts, I should have fallen,lost somewhere along the way,a ghost beneath a bridge at night,sleeping through the day. The odds were stacked against melong before I understood.I learned that life could wound a childbefore it…

The Inheritance of Survival
Why is it that when someone dies, we feel compelled to bury their ugliest truths alongside them? We sweep their failures beneath the rug, polish their memories until they gleam, and tell stories that soften the sharp edges of who they really were. The day you died, a part of me died with you. I…
