A bleeding heart


I could write a million poems to him saying  I’m sorry..

The day I hurt him is like a blade through my heart 

I couldn’t stand his presence 

Nor his silence 

  


I knew I had hurt him so bad that I couldn’t live with myself 

Believe me it wasn’t intentional 

I regret why I went out that day 



If only he gives me a chance to apologize 

I deserve whichever punishment he gives me 

I wish you won’t stop talking to me 


I wish I’d get a chance to apologize 

A chance to talk things out

A chance to make a change 

A second chance?

Love


Love is amazing ,but yet painful

Falling in love again,

The happy moments ,

He made me hopeful .




I thought I’ve finally found him ,

I thought i was the only one .

I guess love is crazy ,

But it ended in archive .




As the sun rises , so is my love ,

As the sun shines so is my love,

Having to choose between us,

Not knowing what you really want .




I couldn’t sleep that night .

My heavy heart ,

Holding back my tear ,

Realizing how broken I was .



I wished I didn’t fall in love ,

I wished he valued my love,

I wished he could see how damaged i was,

I wished love was easy to let go !!




A broken heart 💔 

A sad moment, 

A moment of truth, 

Not being able to hold my feelings .




If only he knew how genuine it was,

If only he values it ,

Should I rather give up ?

Should I break things up ?

Lost

Lost

Lost in thoughts 

Afraid of my mind ,

Staring at the blank space ,

Room filled with silence .



A quick glance at the mirror 

A sigh of relief ,

Thunder rumbling ,

The waves of the wind embracing me .



Let us stand by each other ,

Shall we walk through the garden ?

The smell of roses ,

How welcoming can they be!



A step backwards 

I thought of the rain again ,

Looking at the mirror ,

Back to reality …



I found hope , hope to behold 

Hope to keep 

A perfect weather to believe.!

Venom


 The venom spreads through my    heart 

  Shall I continue to feel this heat 

  It feels like a fire?

  Is it the shock from a naked wire 



   Loving feels like a venom in me

  The beauty of love but yet painful

   Roses and daises 

   Places and faces 



   Shall I compare Thee to the skies 

   Shall I compare thee to the flies 

   Oh my Beloveth venom

   How else shall I compare you


   

   A venom to withhold 

   A love to cherish 

   A love that spreads like poison 

   When shall I know the reason

Self reflection


Just like a flower I stayed alive 

I’d gaze at the stars every night and smile

The beauty of nature keeps me going 

I’d smile without knowing how I got comfort.



I guess life has a way of making me happy 

The joy in my heart is as big as the ocean

My hopes are nothing compared to failure 

I feel lucky to see people care about me


Haha life’s so beautiful 

Being independent at a very early age made me realize how strong I’ve become 

And how strong I’d build myself 



Sometimes I get tired of it all, but I keep going forward 

Giving up wasn’t part of my plan in life 

So I’ll keep fighting till I get there.



Oh mum and dad would be proud one day !

They’ve never given up on me throughout my struggles and challenges , I haven’t given up on them too…for bringing me up in such an amazing way .


Pouring out my heart in words is the best way i find peace with myself 

Not having who to share your heart cries with is draining sometimes.


I call myself lucky to have friends who are family to me , my siblings too are the best thing I have 

I hope one day I’d show them I really care about them.
