to understand the worth of time
is to see it as both
a gift and a thief
it slips away unnoticed
until one day we realize
how little of it remains
in that realization
we learn to cherish each moment
for time once lost
can never be regained

Missing you
there are moments
when the world feels quieter
as if your absence
has softened the noise around me
I find myself reaching
for the familiar places
you once filled
the conversations we never finished
the laughter that still lingers
in the corners of my mind
missing you
is like holding onto a shadow
feeling your presence
even when I can’t touch it
the ache is gentle but constant
proof that love doesn’t fade
only changes shape
Happiness
True happiness is found when you look within and see the beauty that has always been there. It’s in the way your heart beats, your mind dreams, and your soul shines. When you embrace your own worth, you realize that happiness isn’t something to find
it’s something you’ve always carried, quietly glowing from within.
Listen
there were so many times
I held my words back
thinking maybe
they would matter to you
thinking you’d hear them and understand
but you never did
now all I have
are the words I never said
the things I thought
might change your mind
but you never cared enough to listen
I wish I had said more
not to win your attention
but to free myself from the silence
maybe then
I would have realized sooner
that it wasn’t my words you needed
it was your own willingness to listen
House of secrets
in the house of secrets
silence was its own language
the walls whispered stories
only shadows understood
and every locked door
guarded a piece of someone
you’d never fully know
we grew up there
speaking in half-truths
and learning to walk lightly
love was there
though it wore a mask
soft enough to hold you
but always just out of reach
by the time we left
we carried the secrets with us
stitched into our skin like old scars
we never spoke of them
but in every glance
we knew

Bloom
A single flower blooms
its petals soft as whispers
catching the light like a secret
kept between the earth and sky
I’m gone
when I’m gone
you’ll find traces of me
in quiet moments
whispers in the wind
echoes in a familiar laugh
i’ll live in the spaces between your thoughts
a shadow that softens with time
yet in the stillness
you’ll remember
I was once here
and though the world moves on
I will remain
a flicker in your heart
Still Unwritten
thoughts settle onto the page
whispers of ink on white
some linger etched deep
while others fade like ghostly shadows
too delicate to hold
they drift and scatter
sometimes in lines
sometimes like fallen leaves
each one a fleeting spark
that for a moment
catches light
Waiting
I sit by the window
watching shadows stretch
across the floor
the street is empty
the air still
and time slips away
each minute a soft reminder
that I wait for you
but you never arrive
the world outside carries on
but here I remain
hoping against the silence
