Jeju
my mind is full of memories of you... of us.
anything i do
everything i do
i'm reminded of you.
i'm reminded of what we used to be.
i don't know why i can't forget you.
i don't know why i can't let you go.
i wonder...
do you think of me too?
do you miss me as much as i do you?
or does the absence of me not haunt you at all?
jeat - i still love you.
i spoke
and now i know
what i wondered long ago

i can't hide behind
that favorite line
the one i use to fantasize:

"what if I -"

speak and i am heartbroken.

----------------------------

"what if"

i hold my tongue and i never know?

i cannot say i'll never know
i broke my silence, not long ago

and my heart is broken
but at least i know,
which is better:

and it is to speak.
an answer is an answer, and i answered my own question on top of all of that.
When I die sweet child of mine will you think of me?

She sat there.
Mother of mothers, alone, isolated.
They left, all colors gone.
She had to stay here now, they decided.
We are too busy they say.
I understand.
Like in the beginning.
You’re born alone and you’ll die alone.
The former with many tears and noise,
the other with one tear in silence.
Had a busy and happy family life, a blessing it was.
I know.
But see, a beautiful creature, watching me.
An angel.
Can you believe it?
I’m talking to an angel dressed like a chicken.
But I’m grateful for everything.
I have a roof over my head
and a bed to sleep in.
I’m healthy enough.
I miss them that’s true.
I will pray for them.
Their time will come too.
We all grow old.
One day they will be me if they’re lucky enough.

Always treat the elderly with kindness and the respect they deserve.
Don’t isolate them.



Shell ✨🐚
Many elderly are put away to never be visited by any loved one. We all grow old someday.
You made me a poet my dear;
forever inspired with you near.
Alas, you took it all and left -
my rhyming words your greatest theft.

How sad is it
That I cry
When someone who hurts me
Leaves

Chloe
I smell his shirt and the scent is a distant yet close memory, it's too familiar
I cry

It hurts it hurts it hurts

Why don't you feel the same
Do you miss me?
You don't

It hurts, it hurts, it hurts

I want to disappear
leave this all behind,
But I can't

I'm empty, more than lonely

It hurts it hurts, I hurt myself

I'm waiting, waiting and I don't know why
When you've moved on
I'm still here, waiting

I'm sorry, so sorry
In the clear sky
floating clouds
Right in front of me
I reach out my hand
and to grab them
reaching out
the more I tried to catch it,
the more the clouds
move away.
Tired of holding on
distance of time
between me and the clouds
what's the distance
of the broken love?
