Living for today.
Holding yesterday's regrets,
clouds tomorrow's dreams.

Some dim it, ignore it,
stay on the surface of life,
never reaching the depth they came here to feel.

Earth may be the only known place in the universe
where emotion, real emotion, like love exists.
Maybe that’s what the entire universe longs for.

And we… we have the privilege to feel it.
Love is what we’ve been chasing since we were children,
dreaming of it, needing it, searching for it.
Maybe Earth truly offers something no other place can:
Emotion.

So stop suppressing it.
Stop numbing it.
Emotions are the reason we’re here.
Don’t be afraid to feel.

me going isn't
a cry for help — it's the bells

There never was any love,  
only your imagination
that created it.

You built walls of suspicion,
turned friend into foe,
for a love that never was.

Your own doubts
have made your heart fragile,
turned you bitter.

In my
deepest
slumber
i do
   prohibited
things
crawl
through
the soft
dark,
a thud
inside
your
organs
they
  begin to
squirm
i leave
no
language
just
presence
upon
awakening
a twitch
in the
thigh,
salt
on the
tongue,
heat
trapped
between
joints
somewhere,
you shift.
somewhere,
i remain.

I know your voice,
not just how it sounds,
but how it lingers when everything else goes quiet.

We shared no footsteps in the same place,
but for a moment,
you filled a silence I didn’t know I was carrying.

There were words I never said,
questions I never dared to ask.
Too many pauses,
too many things left unfinished.

I tried
more than I ever said.
But the silence grew heavier,
and I stopped fighting
for something that never seemed to reach back.

This feeling…
it was never loud.
Just honest.
Just quiet.
Just mine.

And maybe
that’s where it ends.
too much fear and confusion

I want to say what I mean
If only you'd listen first
Then I could feel like I'm seen
Instead of grasping for attention

I’m crazy enough to like you
Even though you hate me
Hate is a strong word
Like the love I feel inside me

I try to stop the feeling
But it comes back stronger
I just want it to stop
I don't want it any longer

I know my feelings are a burden to you
So I try to hide it
This one sided love will stay as is
Because you can’t commit
