Embers of Love

No hate can bloom where love's embers still reside, A smile I wear, though deep inside I hide. The hurt remains, a phantom limb I feel, Though silent stands the space where words once healed.

No need for words, this story's at its end, No blame to cast, no wrongs for you to mend. I walk away, though every step feels fraught, Leaving you behind, a battle dearly bought.

Anger simmers, a love that can't be claimed, A future dreamt, a whispered, cherished name. My heart, a tangled knot, a web of pain, Tears welling up, but held back like the rain.

For tears are final, whispers of goodbye, And I won't drown in sorrow's lullaby. No, I am bold, not meant for frozen ground, My strength will rise, a warrior newly found.

I'll carry on, though scars may mark the way, This love, a lesson learned, a brighter day. So let me go, and I will find my peace, Carrying on, with strength that will not cease.

Is There Really A Happily Ever after?

Does forever truly bind, a love that won't unwind? Two souls entwined, a constant, loyal mind? But whispers fill the air, of vows and hearts astray, Happy couples falter, where's the happily ever after, they say? Unhappy hearts, with loyalty's heavy chain, A loveless dance, a life lived in vain. Vows like empty vowels, a promise on the breeze, Shattered by temptations, carried on the seas. Imperfection's truth, a flaw in human form, Why pledge forever, amidst life's coming storm? Marriage, a choice, not just a blissful dream, To weather hardship, a committed team. Money, time, and distance, mere excuses in disguise, "Something different" a yearning in our eyes. Miscommunication's thorns, a garden overgrown, Love untended, a promise overthrown. But hold, dear heart, is love truly confined? Can forever exist, in a single, searching mind? Perhaps love's a journey, with many ports to call, Intense connections, that rise and sometimes fall. Is love a si...

Beyond the Game

Sweet words whispered, promises like rain, A player's charm, a heart-aching strain. Believe the lies, and you'll surely be played, Love's real embrace forever delayed. Doubt's whispers shunned, a game you can't win, Head spun with dreams, a love locked within. Those who warn you, a nuisance they seem, Blind to the truth, lost in a love's dream. All for nothing, a lonely goodbye, Empty promises, a teardrop-stained eye. The "why" lingers, a haunting refrain, Lost in the game, love turned to pain. With every beat, a love you imbue, A puppet on strings, a perfect you. Their whispered future, a castle of sand, Words like quicksilver, slip through your hand. They'll vanish in mist, leaving you alone, A game well played, to a heart of stone. "Don't hate the player," they'll coldly proclaim, Leaving you broken, whispering your own name. But listen closely, a truth to behold, Don't fear the risk, a story untold. Love with courage, with...

Guilty Pleasure

You profess love for both of us, yet it's evident your affection is divided. You cherish her like a warm, homemade meal, made with love, evoking feelings of comfort and serenity, reminiscent of a sunrise. Conversely, your love for me is akin to the exhilarating drop of a rollercoaster. It's an adrenaline rush that briefly lifts you out of your seat, reminding you of the thrill of being alive. I am your adrenaline fix, your fleeting high. My concern lies in the fact that those who crave adrenaline often lose interest. Nobody falls deeply in love with a temporary rush. There's a danger in romanticizing the thrill, as it can lead people to ruin their lives chasing an unattainable fantasy. She's your safety net, your seatbelt. I'm your wild ride, your partner in crime. She's your voice of reason, your "play it safe" mantra. I'm your "limit is the sky" mentality. My love is a momentary pleasure, whereas your love for her is a lifelong commitme...
