Poetry by me. Hopefully you feel seen and know that you’re not alone 🖤
I just want someone steady,
not half here, half gone, but ready.
A voice that says “I’m here”
and hands that prove it clear.
Not excuses dressed as care,
but presence, love, just being there.

I saw you in a stranger’s laugh,
just for a second, then it passed.
Your name still hides in quiet songs,
in red lights that never let me get past.
You were my calm in a world that cut,
a cigarette I swore I’d leave.
But I still breathe you in some nights,
like smoke I never meant to keep.

I wasn’t looking. Just floating, free,
No plans, no chase, just letting it be.
Then you walked in, all quiet and kind,
With lips like a promise and peace in your mind.

Let me separate, not absorb,
love without a keeping score.
I want to be a friend who stays,
a lover who can hold and wait.
Growth is quiet, love takes time,
not every hill is mine to climb.

A Lover Girls Awakening 💙
I mistook being needed
for being seen,
shrunk my heart
to fit spaces unclean.
They wore my love
like something on loan,
then left me to wonder
if I was alone.

You frame the world in light and shade, lost in the art your hands have made.
I stand just outside your view,
watching, hoping you have no clue.

I hope you find what I wasn’t meant to give you,
the softness, the staying, the love that feels true.
I wanted to be that, I swore that I could,
but wanting alone never meant that I should.

Let me validate what they’re feeling,
without my own wounds interceding.
Let me separate mine from theirs,
hold space with love, but not despair.
I want to be a better friend,
a lover who can heal, not bend.
Growth is messy, slow, unplanned
but I am learning where I stand.

The weight I carry isn’t mine,
some things aren’t my place to find.
My power is in my response,
not in proving right or wrong.
Let me validate, hold space,
without losing my own grace.

I met you, and suddenly,
my flaws had nowhere to hide.
A mirror I wasn’t ready for,
but couldn’t turn aside.

You were a masterpiece, framed just right,
All warmth and color, bathed in light.
I reached for you, but touched the air,
You were here, but never there.

Rage burns hot, a flashing light,
Blinding reason, sparking fight.
Words like fire leave my tongue,
Damage done, can’t be undone
Fists clench tight, my breath runs wild,
Anger raging, raw, untiled
But once the storm begins to fade,
I’m left alone with what I’ve made

So I’ll put down the phone and silence your name,
stop chasing a spark that burned to a flame.
One day, I’ll wake up and finally feel free,
no longer wishing it was you and me.

I searched for closure in all the wrong places,
reading old texts, revisiting faces.
But nothing I do will rewind the past,
some things just aren’t meant to last.

I keep finding a reason to call you, it’s true,
but deep down, I know that I don’t need to.
No amount of love I tried to show
would have made you care or let it grow.

Said things I know I shouldn’t have,
reacted in ways that made things bad.
I wish we had just stayed friends,
maybe then, this wouldn’t be the end.

This heartbreak is a difficult one,
not just losing you, losing who I’d become.
Let my emotions control my actions,
got caught up in pain instead of compassion.

And in plain sight you hid, but you are what you did.
I’ll forget you, but I’ll never forgive the smallest man who’s ever lived.

Thank God you left unannounced,
Cause I deserve more, no doubt.
I didn’t deserve to be ghosted, no,
But now I see, I’m better solo.
One day you’ll look back and see,
What you lost when you lost me.
But I won’t be there, not anymore,
I’ve closed that door, I deserve more.
