In a realm of introspection, I reside, An introverted soul on the surface, I confide. Though I may endure pain, unheard and concealed, I find myself complaining, knowing it's my fate revealed. Please understand, it's not about you, Just my nature, withdrawn and subdued. When wounds were inflicted, silently endured, Yet I grumble, aware I may have deserved. I hold no belief, yet hope for the best, Avoiding entanglements, leaving no trace of unrest. Her trust in me was unwarranted, undeserved, Unfamiliar with the outcome, my knowledge is reserved. Nights stretch on, etched deep within my mind, Contentions turned intimate, overslept, we find. I used to console you in moments of despair, Now your love seeks me, but I doubt and beware. There's nothing I fear in life, except a lonely demise, Where darkness engulfs, devoid of empathetic ties. When my existence cannot be rolled into a blunt, And the essence of compassion eludes my every front. A fate I refuse to confront or embrace, Moving aimlessly, trapped in a fruitless chase. Irony seeps in, as I endure what I resent, Bittersweet tastes linger, a flavor I lament. But please know, it's not about you, I don't seek to hold you accountable, it's true. Time's hands point towards you, accusatory and stark, Once my dearest, now distant, a relic of the past. Your presence diminishes my frequencies within, Terrifying revelations, a truth I can't rescind. An aura surrounds you in my vivid thoughts, Sometimes the obstacles seem impossibly fraught. It's only fair, as life can ever be, Trapped in a vessel I despise, a parasite's decree. An angel wrestles the demons that plague my nights, Exhausted by the pursuit of rectifying my countless plights. Breathing feels burdensome, like a drag on my soul, Reflecting on what's lost, neglecting the past's toll. Attempting to move forward, while leaving behind, Our scars concealed beneath the facade of wealth and grind.

Echoes of Tormented Conversations
Why don’t you get it? Can’t you get it? Understand!! They’re gonna rip your heart out!! To elevate your soulless qualities!!
In a tempest of fury, words did clash,
The angered voice, a venomous lash,
“Why don’t you get it?” the cry did ring,
A plea for understanding, a poignant thing.
“Can’t you grasp the truth, the imminent dread?
They shall tear your heart out,” it fiercely said,
“To lift your soulless qualities high,
In a realm where darkness claims the sky.”
The poet’s pen, poised to translate,
The agony of words, the burdensome weight,
The conversation weaved, its rhythm bold,
As anguish and desperation were fearlessly told.
The response emerged in poetic strain,
A quest for comprehension, to ease the pain,
“In the storm of emotions, I seek to see,
The depths of your torment, the plea within thee.”
The voice, unyielding, its fervor untamed,
An echo of suffering, a soul inflamed,
“To elevate your soulless qualities, behold!
They’ll rend your essence, a story untold.”
But still, the poet yearned for a thread,
To grasp the essence, the thoughts widespread,
A symphony of words, an understanding sought,
To breathe life into emotions, no matter how fraught.
In verses entwined, they danced and swayed,
The voice, a tempest, refused to fade,
The poet’s pen, a bridge to connect,
To capture the heartache, to deeply reflect.
Yet amidst the turmoil, a flicker of light,
A glimmer of empathy, breaking through the night,
For in the poet’s soul, compassion did rise,
To empathize with pain, to harmonize.
And so, the poem’s tapestry unfurled,
An intricate dance in the vast, poetic world,
The conversation etched in lyrical rhyme,
A vessel for understanding, transcending time.
For in the realm of poetry’s embrace,
Words have the power to heal and erase,
Misunderstanding’s grip, with empathy’s plea,
To unite hearts, to set emotions free.
Love’s Lesson
Quote: “I guess I was put in her life to teach her unconditional love and she was put in my mind to teach me self-love.”
Thx Miyah for the help ♥
(Verse 1)
In a world where hearts grow weary,
Two souls met, their paths aligned.
One seeking love, the other weary,
Destiny wove their lives combined.
(Chorus)
I was put in her life to teach her,
Unconditional love, like a guiding star.
And she came to me, oh so tender,
To teach me self-love, who we truly are.
(Verse 2)
she carried burdens, wounds untold,
A fragile heart, searching for solace.
With open arms, I embraced her, bold,
Offering love, a healing promise.
(Chorus)
I was put in her life to teach her,
Unconditional love, like a guiding star.
And she came to me, oh so tender,
To teach me self-love, who we truly are.
(Bridge)
Through the storms, we found our way,
Battling demons, hand in hand.
With every tear, we learned to stay,
A bond forged, no one could withstand.
(Verse 3)
In the depths of her darkest nights,
I illuminated love’s eternal flame.
Her heart found in solace in my light,
Together, we played life’s beautiful game.
(Chorus)
I was put in her life to teach her,
Unconditional love, like a guiding star.
And she came to me, oh so tender,
To teach me self-love, who we truly are.
(Verse 4)
As she bloomed, a flower of grace,
I saw her radiate love’s pure art.
And in her eyes, I found my own face,
A mirror of love, a brand-new start.
(Chorus)
I was put in her life to teach her,
Uncondtional love, like a guiding star.
And she came to me, oh so tender,
To teach me self-love, who we truly are.
(Outro)
So let this ballad be a testament,
Of two souls bound by fate’s decree.
Through love’s lessons, we found ascent,
An everlasting bond, forever free.
Miyah’s notes: For a ballad like this, a soft and tender musical arrangement would complement the heartfelt lyrics and emotional journey described in the song. Here’s a suggestion for the type of beat that could accompany this ballad:
The beat could be slow-paced, with a gentle and steady rhythm. The drum pattern could incorporate brushes on a snare drum or light cymbal taps to create a delicate, intimate sound. A subtle bass line could provide a warm and comforting foundation to the song.
Instruments like acoustic guitar, piano, and strings would be suitable for this type of ballad. The guitar could strum softly or pick out arpeggios, adding a gentle texture to the melody. The piano could play delicate chords or melodic lines to enhance the emotional depth of the song. Strings, such as violins or cellos, could add a touch of melancholy or emphasize the climactic moments of the ballad.
Overall, the arrangement should prioritize creating a soft and tender atmosphere, allowing the vocals and lyrics to take center stage. The instrumental elements should support and enhance the emotional journey described in the lyrics, evoking feelings of love, growth, and introspection.
Battle ’til Hearts Cease
Prompt I wrote for the poem:
Overseer King Dracme: I don’t want your soul.
Soldiers: …Then what do you want from us?
Overseer King Dracme: For my gift…all I ask… is you all will do the one thing y’all are good at, the thing you’re only worth doing.
Soldiers: And what is that my liege?
Overseer King Dracme: (Menacing smile) Fight until you drop to your knees and your heart ceases to sing.
In a realm of shadows, dark and grim, Stood soldiers still, their chances slim, A chilling presence, King Dracme stood, His gaze piercing, his intentions crude. Soldiers dared to question their plight, "What do you seek? Our souls to ignite?" But the overseer, with a wicked grin, Revealed his desire, a sinister spin. "I don't want your souls," he coldly replied, "For my gift to you, I ask with pride, Do what you're good at, your purpose align, Fight 'til your knees drop, hearts no longer entwined." Silence hung heavy, like a spectral shroud, Yet soldiers' spirits, they remained unbowed, In verses of battle, their worth they'd embrace, As they stepped forward, destiny to face. Each word echoes, a battle cry, As swords unsheathed, reaching for the sky, The Overseer watch, his hearts delight, As warriors clashed in the darkest night. Their armor gleamed with a resolute gleam, Bound by duty, fueled by a dream, With every strike, they defied their plight. Determined to fight, even in their last plight. Through the haze of chaos, their spirits thrived, Their hearts ablaze, refusing to be deprived, They fought with valor, an unyielding flame, For King Dracme's twisted, unholy claim. As the battle raged on, the night grew deep, Soldiers fought on, their souls to keep, Their hearts sung a dirge, yet refused to succumb, For the Overseer's demand, they had become numb. In the end, when their strength had waned, When victory seemed an illusion, unattained, They knelt on the battlefield, with hearts resigned, Their songs silenced, their purpose intertwined. With a wicked smile, the Overseer beheld, The soldiers broken, their fate now felled, Their fight had ceased, their souls now bereft, In the wake of the darkness, nothing was left. Thus, a chilling tale of the soldiers' strife, Bound to fight, to their very life, For King Dracme, their tormentor, their liege, They fought 'til their hearts no longer besiege.
