[And Yet, You Thrived]
You said you wanted to marry me.Swore up and down,You’re it, you’re the one, I could never love anyone like this.And then you left. No explanation. No closure.Just vanished—like I was nothing but a passing thought,a mistake you regretted,a phase you outgrew. And I?I was wrecked.A year of my life, gone.A heart full of promises,…

[Mendacious Man]
You walked in like a sonnet,all perfect rhythm and practiced rhyme,whispering words so sweetI never thought to check for poison. You made me feel chosen.Like the only one, the forever one.Like fate itself had wrapped me in silk and goldand placed me at your feet. You looked at me like I was a masterpiece,spoke my…

[almost]
We were fingertips brushing, a spark too soft to catch flame. Love spelled out in glances, but never in a name. You were a song half-written, melody stuck in my mind. A kiss I almost tasted, a fate never underlined. We stood on the edge of something, too afraid to fall. Now we’re ghosts in…

[the last time]
You didn’t just leave,you erased me.Like a name written in sandbefore the tide rushes in. One day, I was your always,the next, I was nothing.No warning, no slow unraveling,just silence where a heartbeat used to be. I replay the last time you said my name,trace the syllables with shaking hands.Did you already know then,that you’d…

[blueprints]
I’m still pissed that you took the future you promised me and left me holding the empty space, like I’m supposed to fill it with things I never even asked for. You told me over and over, “we’re in this together.” You said it like it was fact, like we were writing our story, page…

[how dare you]
How dare you be a serial killer to the part of my girlhood innocence, Now a corpse bride, I still carry my unrequited love while you never even showed up to the wake leaving my heart to mourn its own death. That piece of me died the day you buried it, and I’ll never get…

[bitter love]
I loved you like it was my damn job—the kind of love that scars,the kind of love that wraps its arms around your neckand refuses to let go. I held you like you were the last thing I’d ever touch,and somehow, you became the first thing I’d lose. I loved you in every corner of…

[Why]
Why is she the onewho wears the promises we made?The vows I stitched to the sleeves of my skin,all the futures I pressed into my palms,carefully,until he let them sliplike a breath caught too deep. I wanted the life she gets to call hers.I wanted the pieces he promisedbut never gave me.Instead, I stand in…

[Lost Lover]
I gave you all the parts of me that no one else could touch, thinking love could bind us, thinking you would stay. You held my heart with careful hands, said we’d be fine, forever still, but the silence between us now is a reminder of promises we never fulfilled. Did you feel the weight…

[unspoken truths]
I’ve held my breath for so long,waiting for answers that never came,words that choked on their own weight,drowned in the silence of what could have been. There were days when my heart screamedand no one heard.When my bones shook under the weight of trust,shattered by lies I didn’t see coming.And still, I kept walking,footsteps leaving…
