It hurts, not having you near, wish you were by my side, singing a song or watching the sky.
It hurt, the way you lift me up to the sky, only to let go once I trusted in your arms to fall in.
It hurts, knowing you pretended all the time, lied to my face while I was polite.
It hurts, everytime I think of you, the moments we shared, so lovely, so sweet, they make me want to write you, see what you think....
It hurts, thinking you could be the one for me, when all I was to you,  a game, not for two.
It hurt, the dissapointment, the idea I had of you, held you so highly now I look down on you.
It hurt when you ended it, shards to my heart, but I didn't colapse I kept my compulsure even when every word you said dug deeper in my heart.
It hurt, it did, it still does, but pain isin't something I haven delt with before, it'll hurt a bit more until I grow, only to realise
you were nothing next to my beautiful soul.
when people bring us down, we have to look up
The street is washed in a morning hush,
Tiles whisper stories under rush.
A woman walks in flowery grace,
her dress flowing behind her
A building in the background keeps watch
Over all that’s there
Like a silent protector

Between the stone and sky’s soft blue,
The city breathes in something true.
Modern windows, ancient light—
the city begins the day just right.
It’s morning.

When I was a kid,
emotions were
monotonous.
A candy was
just a candy.
Happiness came
fast and full.
I didn’t wonder
who gave it,
or why.
I just smiled
and ate.
Now,
I think too much
about hearts,
about hands,
about faces,
about the things
people want
when they give.
Now, a candy feels
like a trap.
Love feels like a deal.
And the world?
Too heavy
for joy to be simple.

Step 1: Smile.
Step 2: Forget why.
Step 3: Keep your voice steady
when your soul is not.
Step 4: Pretend it’s fine.
(Everyone else is.)

Step 5: Fold your feelings
into paper birds.
Set them loose.
Watch them burn mid-air.
Clap softly.
Repeat.

There is no final step.
You just keep going
until you don’t know
what breaking feels like anymore.

Today some cloud
Put on a show,
Streaking across
Clear blue sky.

Pretty
Empty
Condensation
Evaporating far away

She is the life,
He is the death.
She was mistreated,
He held no breath.
She hoped to end,
He fought to stay.
She kissed him once—
He rose,
She slipped away.
