LITTLE MAYBES
Petra 2h
you said you’d come for a coffee, but wouldn’t let me pay,
polite like a movie, then you slipped away.
Didn’t know you had someone, guess that’s how it goes.
Timing is a trickster, everybody knows.
It’s the law of irony, when hearts don’t check availability. But I won’t regret what I tried to do, It’s just a page, not the whole book through.
So here’s to letters and almost maybe, to the timing gods and their little maybes.

Ache
Petra 18h
It aches.
Echo, emptiness, and heavy essence,
that’s what I’ve felt.
Not past tense, actually.
I still do.

It hurts me physically,
and it grew.
It grew into something much bigger.

I can’t hear any thoughts
other than his.
I feel his pain.
His intentions.

Now I’m stuck
with a feeling that doesn’t even belong to me.
All he does is project it onto me.

Well… I can take it.
That’s the reason I got this power.
But not being able to really hear my own voice,
even when there’s quiet -
is something most of me
just can’t align with.
This is about absorbing someone elses pain because you care about them a bit too much, but it becomes stronger than your own.
Petra 2d
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.
Petra 2d
If we were meant to walk different roads,
why was I led to this turn?
Still haunted by the past,
yet somehow, it’s the only thing pulling me forward.
Since we met, I’ve compared everyone to you.

They’re all made of glass.
I see right through them.
And no matter how long I look,
there’s nothing beneath the surface.
Petra 2d
I sleep so we can meet,
To align with u in a dream.
Scenarios like when I read
not forced, just the subliminal scheme.

No pressure here, no twisted game,
just shadows dancing in a name,
a space where fear begins to fade
where you’re still kind, where you still stay.

You see me whole, like once before,
before the stillness,
before the door
you quietly closed
when you chose to ignore.

ignore what bloomed, ignore my ache,
walked past me like I couldn’t break.
Yet even pain begins to gleam
when I return into the dream.

So if we meet, let it be there
a world imagined, soft and rare.
Because the only place I still believe
is in the dream I never leave.

sombr
Petra 2d
His art cuts deep into my heart.
The only time I truly see the colors of childhood again
is when the lyrics are blasting in my ears.
Even when every song carries a heavy weight
and a cup of sadness,
that’s when I feel most alive.

I need those lyrics carved into my walls,
etched beneath the surface.
I want the melody to run through my mind,
sombr in my head like a never fading song,
the only place where I truly belong.

— The End —
