heartbreak

They can break your heart, but they can't break your soul; poetry about lost love that comforts and uplifts.

When the Light Turns Off
I couldn’t sleep. The night hummed with a sound I couldn’t trace. A buzz that lived in the shadows— silent when light approached,

Not My Shoes
I kept walking until I finally arrived At a place that felt calm It forced me to dance To keep dancing until my shoes wore out

They Did Not Come in Peace
They Did Not Come in Peace You ask us what we dare try to describe ? I’ll tell you, it’s the evil alien tribe. Not in fiction, not a film, not a dream

Whispers of the Mountain Beneath tall trees where mountains rise, A lake reflects the painted skies. A boy kneels low in flowers fair,

These precious pearls Hang around my neck Like a thoughtful gift One that would blind My pure fragile eyes With a radiant white shine

Her Mouth Full of Dawn
Oh, how the heavens must envy the way she wears the light— not borrowed, not given, but born from within, a slow-burning sun wrapped in skin.

There are doors where doors should not be And no bloody door where I want doors to be GOD! Today is a really fracking bad day.

Enchanted : Taylor Swift
"I'll spend forever wondering if you knew" "I was enchanted to meet you" Have you ever listened to this "Enchanted ”song by Taylor Swift that often considered one of her most underrated songs, especially by fans who followed her earlier albums like Speak Now. Today, I want to explore the lyrics of Enchanted , a song that reminded me of a story that someone once told me. A story of meeting someone unforgettable , and silently holding onto that moment that she doesn't know why its happened.

Echoes of Love
In silence, your name becomes my sweetest song, A rhythm in my soul where you belong. Eyes closed, I see your smile so bright,

To the One Who Loved Me Almost
Not all heartbreak comes from what was, sometimes it comes from what could have been. To the One Who Loved Me Almost is a poem about emotional hesitation, missed moments, and the soft ache of being nearly chosen. For anyone who’s ever felt the weight of almost being loved, this poem offers both sorrow and strength, a gentle reminder that letting go of "almost" is sometimes the greatest act of self-love.
