Hi, I just wanted to say that your poems are beautiful. They are beautifully written and I can see parts of myself and my experiences in them. They are truly works of art!
Hi! Wow. Thank you. I never thought my poems will resonate to someone this much. This is how I usually feel when I read beautiful poems by other people, and I'm very honored that I was able make you feel the same. Thank you soooo much!

It is my tragedy to have you as my enemy
Once upon a time, you loved me dearly
Sweeter than I prefer until it turned bitter
Everything soured, words could've been phrased better
But once a year, like an eclipse, we'll be back
Trying to touch those hands, tiptoeing around the cracks
You'd pour salt in my wounds and I'd offer you a smile
It is my tragedy, to have a taste of you for a while.

Farewell
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.

I can freely admit that I didn't deserve them. Not then. Not with all the pain I've caused them.
I just checked this out, and wow, thank you for introducing me to such a beautiful song. It does remind me of our dynamic. She was love of course, and I was hate.
I knew I loved you then, but I didn't tell
You've only fallen and I wasn't well
Cold, cold days with arms wrapped mine
Flowers were wilting, and you're looking for a sign
I want to be better, you want me to be yours
I keep screaming, screaming 'till my voice is hoarse
But you didn't know, didn't know 'cause you were deaf and blinded
I was paralyzed, trying to be found, you're lost, we're both stranded
I was rage, you were kindness, we made a home out of lies
Second chances, third ones, a promise that flies
A pair of wings growing while one withers away
I will never deserve you, I didn't ask for you to stay.

Sunset
I take off the hatred, take off the love
Until I am empty, breathless and numb
And I lay beside you, under the stars
We're kids again, ignorant of the wars
Yet your hand, I can no more hold
You used to radiate warmth, now it's cold
And I expect you to recount my mistakes, where I went wrong
But all I could hear is a familiar melody, you're humming our song
So I reach out and laces our fingers, this is not the end
We're just two kids with broken hearts, we could start again.

Betrayal
One eye blind, one bright and clear
Both swimming with doubts, both filled with fear
One hand with gun, one gripping yours
Both bloody and bruised, both aching with force
Your lips on my ears, whispering the same words again and again
Telling me you're sorry, to pick up the pen
But the one's not holding mine, clutches a sword
And blood flows through my mouth instead of words.

Innocence Lost
My heart clenches as if it can still feel
Can still discern what's right, what's real
But I know better, it was torn
The day it fell for you, I was reborn
I can still feel the phantom beating
I can still hear the echoes of footsteps receding
The day it fell for you, I was reborn
That was the last day in my sleeve, it was worn.

Did you know that your words are an elixir? If not before, please know now.
Did you know that these words fill my heart with warmth? 'Cause it do. Thank you, really. I'm happy to hear that you feel that way.

Destiny
I hide behind these walls, I hide away my soul
Yet one look from you I fall, one look and you stole
What was never mine and has always been yours
You're good, you're good, I whisper as it gets worse
We're not meant to be, you made me happy
We're not meant to be, a footnote in your story
We're not meant to be, all I want is an apology
We're not meant to be, please tell me why you left me.

Delusion
My fingers graze your skin
And my heart beats loud and fast
A flinch, and a step back
The scene shatters in a flash
I blink my eyes open
As sunlight filters to my room
And I reached for your side
To be met with empty sheets
It is a beautiful day
But I close my eyes, letting myself drift
To the land of dreams
Back to you again.

Defeated
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.

Hoping
I wonder if I flit through your mind
If there are times you still try to find
Me, in those songs, those places
If in your life, I left some spaces
For you part me with a void, an aching in my soul
The face I look for in the crowd, the name I try to howl
Or maybe you don't even remember
The girl you've given a hasty farewell that chilly December.

Ruthless
My heart aches as you walk near
You, who've once taken everything I held dear
You have some nerve to come to me
When you made certain to ruin who I could be
Are you here to gloat, parade your victory?
I want to go, but you won't set me free
And I'm tired, I have nothing left to give
I wish you wouldn't come back once you leave.

Deny
We're here again, stuck in the same place
With flames in my eyes, tears streaking through your face
I can see the tension you carry, the way your shoulders sag
All I did was raise your red flags
I can't be your hero, can't love you the way you want me to
So why won't you go, why not leave too?
Why won't you fight? You deserve someone better
Don't weigh yourself down with me, I'm a monster
Believe what you believe, but I can't be, I can't be better.

Mute
My pen glides through the paper as I bleed you out
The ink tells what I can't speak through my mouth
It seems I lost my voice since you left
Not does it matter, with me, you're always deaf
I beg for you to stay, I plead for just another minute
But you're hellbent on tearing my heart, blowing it to bits
Yet you say there's nobody crueler than I
When you didn't even think twice when you said goodbye.

I float, empty, a husk
In solitude, I bask
Don't let me, don't let me drown
Fill this void and anchor me down.
