What Once Was

Poem request by London: She gave the first line.

What happened to the good times?
The sun once shone so bright,
Its golden rays a gentle rhyme
That chased away the night.

The flowers bloomed in brilliant hues,
Their petals soft and kind,
And every breeze that gently blew
Brought fragrant peace of mind.

The world was full of wondrous things,
Like birds that sang with glee,
And laughter, like a pair of wings,
Set our hearts and sprites free.

But now it seems the world has
changed,
The sun obscured by clouds,
The flowers wilted and deranged,
Their beauty lost in shrouds.

The birds no longer sing their songs,
Their melodies now hushed,
And laughter, once a source of
throngs,
Has turned to tears, so crushed.

Yet even in this darkest hour,
A glimmer still remains,
A memory of what once was dour,
And hope that it sustains.

For though the world may seem to
fade,
Its beauty still endures,
and light of love, we'll wade
Through times that feel unsure.

The Song of longing: An Ode to Heartbreak

Poem request from Beni

Created: March 4, 2023: 15:29

Oh heart, so heavy and so full of pain,
How can I ever hope to ease this 
strain?
The memories of you, they haunt my 
mind,
I can't escape them, no matter how
hard I try to find.

I made a song, a tribute to our love,
But now it serves as a reminder of 
what I'm deprived of.
The melody is sweet, the lyrics so
true,
But they're bittersweet now, since I'm
missing you.

I try to move on, to find a new start,
But my heart's still longing, it's torn
apart.
I sing the song we made, the one
that's yours and mind,
Hoping yours and mine,
Hoping it will bring you back, hoping
you'll hear the line.

But deep inside, I know it's just a
dream,
That we're just two separate parts of 
a broken team,
The song is all I have, the only link to
you,
And though it's not enough, it's all I
can do.

So I sing it loud, I sing it strong,
And hope that somehow, you'll hear
my song.
For though we're apart, and though it 
hurts so much,
I'll keep singing, until I no longer long
for your touch.

Oh heart, so fragile and so full of pain, 
May this song soothe you, and heal
you again.
May it bring you peace, and may it 
help you see,
That even without them, you'll still be
happy and free.

 

The End of Us (Poem)

The words flew fast like bullets shot,
A battle waged, a love distraught.
Isheal and Tituba, in heated debate,
The end of their relationship, sealed by fate.

Isheal was shocked, to hear “okay”,
Tituba’s acceptance, of the end of their way.
He wanted a fight, to see her care,
But Tituba was done, beyond repair.

“You’re throwing it all away,” he cried,
But Tituba knew the truth, she didn’t hide.
“You wanted to break up, not me,
Why should I beg, on bended knee?”

Isheal wanted her to change his mind,
To make him believe, in love that’s blind.
But Tituba knew, it wasn’t her role,
To fix what was broken, to make him whole.

Desperate pleas, fell on deaf ears,
Tituba was done, had no more tears.
“Why do you want to end this love we made?”
Isheal stammered, his words delayed.

Tituba knew the truth, she saw the signs,
Isheal was testing her, playing with minds.
“This relationship was never meant to be,
Don’t contact me again, I’ve set myself free.”

And with that, Tituba walked away,
Leaving Isheal alone, with nothing to say.
Their love was over, a thing of the past,
A story ended, one that couldn’t last.

 

End Of Us (Convo/Story)

Isheal: We should break up

Tituba: Okay.

Isheal: Okay?

Tituba: Yeah okay.

Isheal: Just like that?

Tituba: What do you want me to do?

Isheal: IDK, I JUST WASN’T EXPECTING “okay”.

Tituba: What, you want me to fucking beg for you to stay?

Isheal: No, it just seems like you’re throwing this all away.

Tituba: I’m throwing it all away? Are you okay? Did you hit your damn head somewhere?

Isheal: Yeah, it’s like you don’t even care…

Tituba: You’re the one who wanted to break up with me. How is this my fault my nigga.

Isheal: UR NOT EVEN WILLING TO FIGHT FOR US!!

Tituba: Fight for what?? There is no us it’s all you sweety. What you’re really looking for me is to fight with you and I’m not finna waste my time doing that.

Isheal: CHANGE MY MIND. MAKE ME BELIEVE IN US AGAIN!!

Tituba: You want me to do that? I think you are placing the responsibility on the wrong person here don’t you think.

Isheal: You decide if we should stay together.

Tituba: My brain is hurting listening to this insolent fuckery coming from your mouth. Babe you already decided and I’m just respecting your decision.

Isheal: I’ll take it back if you say so. Just say the WORD!!

Tituba: If I decided to stay with someone who wanted to break up I’d be crazy you know that right.

Isheal: can’t you just reassure me that we’ll be okay. I’ll forget.

Tituba: Desperate is not the word I can use to describe how you acting right now.

Isheal: I’m not desperate or whatever else you can think to call me.

Tituba: Curious about why you want to end our relationship. Speak fast before I stop caring.

Isheal: It just felt like you (Tituba cuts her off)

Tituba: Like I didn’t care about you? You make me fucking laugh you know that.

Isheal: Laugh? I just feel that I can never get close to you. You keep pushing me away.

Tituba: You trying to rush this relationship. You may be ready to skip some steps but it doesn’t mean I am ready to do that.

Isheal: See? You are (Tiuba cuts her off again)

Tituba: You never asked me. Stop jumping to conclusions about me not caring about you at all. I feel like you did this all just to see if I cared or not right?

Isheal: Now your jumping to (Gets cut off again)

Tituba: Yes or No?

Isheal: …

Tituba: I see. You know testing me instead of just communicating shows this relationship was never meant to work out. Don’t give me any excuses as well. I’m done listening to you so Ima just leave. Don’t think about contacting me either. I blocked you and deleted your number throughout this whole conversation.

Unheard Fury

What the poem is about:

“Me: I understand your anger bu-

Makayla: You don’t understand my anger!! If you did, you wouldn’t have gotten rid of me so easily.”

Her anger boiled like a stormy sea,
As she raged, “You don’t understand me!”
Her words sharp, slicing like a knife,
Bleeding out the pain of a severed life.

“I trusted you, I gave you my all,
And yet you let me go, like a forgotten doll.
You discarded me, as if I meant nothing,
Leaving me alone, hurt and suffering.”

Her fury burned with a fiery passion,
As she railed against this callous action.
“You don’t know me, you never did,
Or else you would have fought to keep me, kid.”

Her anger was raw and real,
A wounded heart that refused to heal.
So listen closely, and heed her plea,
And maybe then, you’ll truly see.

 

Complex Web

The lyrics I portrayed in a song are from Introverted by Zotiyac. The lyrics are at the bottom.

I hope for the best, but don’t believe it
Trust is hard, and I’m not easily deceived
I keep my distance from others, no regrets
For I know the pain that comes from making bets

She trusted me once, but now I don’t know
The reasons why we drifted, why we let it go
Memories of our love, still fresh in my head
But the motives that changed, are still left unsaid

Long nights, arguments, and making up
Moments of passion, but never enough
I held her close, when she cried her tears
My shoulder wet, with the weight of her fears

She loved me, but I can’t believe
For my heart, remains hard to retrieve
Affectless, in the face of her affection
A shield I wear, to protect my reflection

Relationships, they come and go
Trust, love, regret, and woe
A complex web, that we all must weave
To find the balance, that we can all believe.

[Lyrics]
"I don't believe it, but I hope the best 
I don't fuck with people, so I leave 'em without no regrеt 
She ain't have to trust me and shе did, but 
I don't know the rest 
Start off unconditional become a different motive next 
Long nights embedded in my head that 
I ain't gon' forget 
Argue 'til we fuck, you cancel work and now we overslept 
Member I would hold you when you cry, it got my shoulder wet 
She just wanna love me, don't believe her so it’s no affect"

The Shadow of Oblivion

Poem request by Seraphine…. (I hated making this but I got paid so whatever)

 

In the depths of my heartbreak,
I wandered through a world so bleak,
My soul was shattered, my spirit torn,
And I wondered how I’d ever be reborn.

Betrayal came from someone close,
Who left me feeling like a ghost,
Haunted by memories of what we had,
And the pain that I couldn’t shake, oh so sad.

Regret filled my every thought,
As I wondered what I could have sought,
To prevent this heartache that I feel,
And to make our love story a different deal.

The cycles of life are hard to bear,
When it seems like there’s no one there,
To hold you close and ease the pain,
And remind you that the sun will rise again.

But in the midst of all this strife,
There’s a glimmer of hope in my life,
Compassion from a stranger’s heart,
Whose kindness is a work of art.

So I hold on to that ray of light,
And I try to see the world in a new light,
For though my heart may still ache,
There’s a chance that it can be remade.

And so I sing this ballad of woe,
Of a heart that’s been broken and low,
But also of the love and compassion that’s there,
To heal and bring back a heart that once was fair.

Criminal

Inspiration from the song “Cheating is a crime” by Takayan

With every note, a warning bell
of love betrayed, and trust that fell
A cautionary tale, a story old
Of hearts left empty, and love gone
cold

The lyrics speak of passion's flame
That flickers bright, then fades in
shame
Of secrets kept, and lies that bind
Of the loss of love, and peace of mind

For cheating is a malefaction, so they say
And yet we're tempted, to go astray
To see the thrill, and rush of sin
Ignoring the hurt, we'll soon begin

But the melody reminds us, in every line
That love is precious, and hard to find
That trust is scared, and easily lost
And cheating is a violation, at a heavy cost

So let us heed these words of truth
And guard our hearts, from the lure of
youth
For love is pure, and meant to be
A bond unbroken, for eternity.

Broken Heart in the Tower

In a tower, tall and grand,
A girl once lived, her heart unmanned.
Her love had left her, far behind,
And she was left, alone to find.

The days were long, the nights were cold,
Her heart was shattered, her spirit sold.
She dreamed of love, she dreamed of life,
But in this tower, she was held in strife.

She looked out of the window, at the stars above,
Wondering if her heart would ever be loved.
She wished for freedom, to spread her wings,
To feel the breeze, and hear the birds sing.

But alas, she was stuck, in this tower of pain,
Her heart was broken, her tears fell like rain.
She prayed for strength, to carry on,
And to find her heart, which had long gone.

The days turned into months, the months into years,
Her heart still ached, with unending tears.
She longed for love, for someone to hold,
To heal her heart, and make her whole.

But fate had other plans, for this poor girl,
Her heart was shattered, her life in a whirl.
And though she tried, to mend her heart,
She remained broken, forever apart.

So now she sits, in her tower of pain,
Her heart still aching, with unending strain.
She looks out of the window, at the stars above,
Wondering if she’ll ever find, her true love.
