Maybe sadness isn’t black, Maybe it’s light that won’t come back. A flame too weak to fight the cold, A heart that burns itself to old.
Blue
Alone feels like dark water rising, Every breath feels compromising. People laugh beneath the sun, While you forget how joy is done. Solitude is moonlit sand, No desperate reaching for a hand. Just waves arriving, then retreating, Like calm and quiet finally meeting. Loneliness tastes sharp like rain, A hollow echo of someone’s name. Standing ankle deep in despair, Wondering why no one’s there. Depression is the ocean floor, Where light can’t reach you anymore. Only pressure, only blue. Only surviving because you have to.

Halfway to Forgiveness
In shadows cast by words we left unspoken, I linger still, held back by shades of doubt. Your laughter echoes like a distant song, A bluesy hum entwined with past regret. I reach for comfort in the chaos spun, Yet find my heart confined to colors dim. Compassion wanes; confusion reigns within, As choices drift like leaves in autumn's breeze. Forgiving you resides on fragile ground— Only half my heart can bear the weight of peace.
Ocean
i return to the sea i return to memory floating back into the heaviness of breathing affirming life as it actually is not how I was taught to perceive it we are not merely fools on a stage our lines written waiting to be played the universe is an ink well neither written with a Pelagian pen nor defined by the Augustinian A drop of water suspended for a time will return

The Blue Planet
Filled with water and life This planet thrives with might They call it blue for its water I call it blue as it gets hotter What will prevail is a question for all But cant we agree to keep this planet strong?
the walls were bulit
The walls were built with whispered words, “I love you” but every corner turned To dark, and every sky was bruised, not blue. I walked on shards of shattered glass, To keep your fragile peace intact, I gave away my own reflection, and lost myself within The act. You fed me drops of poisoned rain. And told me it was water pure, You broke the anchor of my mind, then swore you alone could cure. The heavy Air, the endless blame, the shifting lines of wrong and right. I shrunk To fit inside your palm, and let you eclipse all my light. But Something stirred beneath the ash, a quiet spark you couldn’t Drown, I realized the pedestal was just a cage you called a crown. I saw the strings attached to me, I felt the weight of all the lies, And for the first time in the dark, I opened my eyes. It wasn’t Loud, the day i left,
