In the quiet garden of memory, where shadows embrace the light,

A rose blooms in solitude, its petals soft and bright.

It stands amid the darkness, a symbol of our love,

A whisper of the beauty that now soars above.

Hope was the gift you gave me, in every tender word,

A promise like the morning, when the first sweet chirps are heard.

You were the gentle sunrise, that chased away my night,

A beaco...

Darkness fills my eyes

Hoping to see you again

Roses on the tomb

Tessa🦋...

Oh, that I could have but one night free of nightmares,

But alas, I believe my heart to have surrendered hope,

My soul to have been tainted by the shadows of despair.

For I have lost a friend.

Ever the brave soldier,

You were not afraid of the darkness.

Fitting to fate's affinity for irony,

As it is now I that endures the depths of gloom

Faced with but one truth that will outlast us all

That what...

There will come a day

When they’re not so young and free

They will be old and decayed

Bound by chains of death, you see

But for now let them play

With one another

Because soon it won’t be that way

They’ll be without each other

Teach them to hold onto the hope

Because overtime it will fade

Teach them to hold on to that rope

Because soon it will be frayed

Let them live, love, laugh

Let them catch...

I wake up one day with no memory to be found

I look down and see blood all around

All I can do is hope for the best

But as I look around its just emptiness,

And darkness and I start to get stressed

As I walk around trying to escape.

I end up in the same place

I recognize a familiar face

He is holding a rose, a red rose for that matter

But as I get closer it would start to glow

But it'...

I was your hope but I let you down

No remorse as they laid you down

So much more I could have done

My Lord knows I should have done

The answers escape me once again

Overwhelmed by indecision once again

I rose today expecting change

I sleep tonight expecting change

Will I wake the man they hoped for

Or with the peace I always hoped for

Leaving the darkness behind me

Never again looking b...

Pink fabric enrobed

Blue lines pages

Marked with a rose colored satin ribbon

Yellow legal pads

Erupting with tight cursive arcs

Of the characters in her head

Brown skinned girl bent over a book

Sheltered in her closet

Escaping into technicolor worlds

To world building in shades of her own

Hope rose from darkness

But

Little girls grow up

Big dreams overshadowed, left fallow

Buried

Beneath ...

When hope was all gone

For a miracle cure

The darkness descended

And enveloped my world.

Your battle was over

You fought ever so valiantly

But to live a long life

Was not your destiny.

I withered away

In your absence I sank

Deeper into grief

And completely lost myself.

Into a cavernous hole

I fell all alone with the pain

My limbs unwilling, unable

To claw my way out.

I stayed fo...

There was hope

We could’ve been something

It would’ve been great

But I just had to figure it out

I knew she liked someone else

And I knew she liked her back

I could just tell

No matter how many times she denied it

I knew

So I kept pushing

Until they told each other

Darkness

I knew it was the right thing to do

Even if I didn’t feel it

I had to find someone else

While they became something

But it w...

Do you know how it feels when part of you dies?

When the sky is less blue, the sun less bright?

Do you wish you could go back? Or do you like this new road?

Are you happy with your travels? Are you full of doubt or hope?

Most of our surroundings, need sunlight to bloom,

But do you prefer the darkness? Locked away in your room?

Is this beneficial to you? Are you still on the right track?

Have...
