Forever's clock ticks, a mournful tune,
Whispering of love, beneath the pale moon.
They say a soul for every soul is made,
But in this lonely space, my heart's afraid.

I search in vain, for a love that's true,
A hand to hold, a dream to pursue.
Is destiny a myth, a cruel deceit?
Or am I lost, in this lonely retreat?

Kiss me like you mean it,
Swear to me an oath,
The next time we see Cupid,
He has to shoot us both.

'Cause when the arrow hit me,
It went straight to my heart.
But there were just too many things,
Keeping us apart.

If you don't mind, I'll remember the good times,
I'll remember all the moments we shared.
I'll try to forget the way that it ended,
And how my heart was so unprepared.

If you don't mind, I'll remember the music,
And all of the songs that we played.
I'll try to forget the way that it ended,
And how I wish that you had stayed.

You used to say, I Love you.
But you don't say it anymore.
And it kind of makes me wonder,
Just what I was wishing for.

I reached across my empty bed,
Pretending you were there.
So you could wake up in my arms,
And know how much I care.

If you don't mind, I'll remember the good times
I'll remember all the moments we shared.
I'll try to forget the way that it ended,
And how my heart was so unprepared.

If you don't mind, I'll remember the music,
And all of the songs that we played.
I'll try to forget the way that it ended,
And how I wish that you had stayed.

I fell in love too quickly,
I fell in love too deep,
I struggle with it every night,
And cry myself to sleep.

Kiss me like you mean it,
Swear to me an oath,
The next time we see Cupid,
He has to shoot us both.

Love isn't always a fairytale. 💔 Sometimes, even when you find someone special, the timing is wrong, the circumstances are challenging, or the world around you conspires against you.

Often, love requires sacrifice. You might have to make difficult choices, even if it means putting your own happiness aside to protect others.

It's a tough pill to swallow, but sometimes, letting go is the bravest thing you can do. ❤️

The silence screams, a haunting refrain,
Where echoes linger, of a love in vain.
Your heart, a vessel, once brimming with grace,
Now shattered and broken, in this desolate space.

Each beat a reminder, of what once was true,
A love that faded, leaving you bruised and blue.
The memories haunt, a bittersweet sting,
Of whispered promises, on love's fragile wing.

The pain, a constant, a relentless tide,
Washing over you, nowhere to hide.
But you will rise, though the journey may seem long,
And learn to mend, where you once belonged.

The Weight of Silence

They walk among us, shadows in the light,
Their pain unseen, their struggles out of sight.
Judged and condemned, for actions misunderstood,
A silent battle waged, a heavy, lonely hood.

Depression's grip, a suffocating hold,
A darkness deepens, a story left untold.
They seek solace, in ways that seem astray,
A desperate plea, to chase the pain away.

The world demands conformity, a rigid mold,
But broken spirits, a different story told.
They cry for help, their voices lost in the fray,
Lost in the echoes of a soul astray.

Sometimes, people do things that society deems unacceptable. They are ridiculed, judged, and ostracized. What others fail to understand is the silent battle these individuals wage against depression. Alone and misunderstood, they grapple with a darkness that few can fathom. Desperate and isolated, they turn to actions that may seem harmful, but are often desperate attempts at finding solace, a misguided belief that these actions will somehow alleviate their suffering.

My heart aches, my mind races, yet my cries for help seem to fall on deaf ears. I've been drowning in sorrow for what feels like an eternity. Does anyone even notice the storm raging within me? In these darkest hours, I've contemplated the unthinkable.

"Forgiven and Free"

The echoes of your words, a haunting refrain,
But I've found solace, easing the pain.
Forgiveness, a whisper, a gentle release,
Unburdening my heart, bringing me peace.

I no longer hold onto anger's bitter sting,
Nor dwell on memories that no longer sing.
I forgive you, not for your sake, but for mine,
To break the chains that once tightly entwined.

Forgiving you, I find a newfound grace,
A lightness of spirit, a smile on my face.
I'm free from the past, its shadows and fears,
Embracing the future, drying the tears.

"I've Moved On"

I’ve turned the page on chapters long gone by,
Where heartache reigned and shadows filled the sky.
I’ve learned to let go, to set my spirit free,
And found a strength I never thought could be.

Though once I clung to hope with all my might,
Now I embrace the future with new light.
I’ve loved and lost, it’s true, but still I stand,
A survivor of life’s demanding hand.

I’ve walked through fire, emerged from darkest night,
And found a peace that shines so very bright.
So let the past remain where it belongs,
For I’ve moved on, and found where I belong.

I'm Leaving You

The days I stayed, despite the pain, were enough.
I endured your hurts, your crushing blows, I’d puff
My heart out, hoping we'd survive the fray,
But now I see, we’ve reached our final day.

Perhaps it’s fitting, this bittersweet end,
After forgiveness, after being a friend.
My heart, so weary, can endure no more.
So let us part, forevermore.

I’ve loved you deeply, more than words can say,
But you, it seems, have thrown my love away.
I’ve tried so hard, forgiven every sin,
But now I’m done, and I’ll begin again.

Cutting ties isn't always about anger. Sometimes, it's an act of self-preservation.

It's about recognizing that certain relationships, while once valuable, may now be detrimental to your well-being.

It's about choosing peace over pain, even if that peace requires a difficult and emotionally charged decision.

It's about understanding that sometimes, the most loving thing you can do for yourself and for others is to create space.

It's about prioritizing your own mental and emotional health, even if it means stepping away from something that once brought you joy.

Remember, self-care isn't selfish. It's essential for your overall well-being.

"I used to hold on so tight to this relationship, now I'm just letting go..."

Sometimes, no matter how much we love or like someone, we reach a point where we get tired...

We get tired of understanding things that keep happening over and over again...
We get tired of saving a relationship when our partner does nothing to save what you have...

It's hard to let go,
it's hard to move forward especially if we loved that person so much, but loving someone so hard is not enough if it's not reciprocated properly...

Loving someone is painful if you're always the one adjusting and understanding just to keep things working...

Never be too confident that they love you so much and that they can't let you go because sometimes when a person is abused and tired, there's nothing left for you to come back to...

To all the girls who aren't getting the love they deserve, to someone who only feels pain and trauma in a relationship...

Just let go, because there will come a time when you can let go of the person you couldn't let go of because you're exhausted, because you're at your limit, and when that point comes, it's your end...

Don't take for granted the person who loves you so much...
Never hurt over and over again the person who cares about nothing but making you happy, because one day you'll realize how important they are, and once they know their worth, you can never have them back because you abused them...

To everyone who has been hurt, played with, and used as a rebound, always remember that you are important and you deserve a kind of love that is pure and genuine.

"Echoes of a Love That Was"

Can I borrow a moment, a sliver of time,
From that sweet season, when our spirits entwined?
Those hours we shared, a melody soft and low,
When laughter echoed, and love's gentle glow,
Bathed our souls in a warm, golden light.

Your voice, a whisper, on the distant line,
A melody haunting, a bittersweet sign.
I'd press the receiver, close to my ear,
And in the stillness, banish every fear.
Imagine your smile, feel your hand in mine,
Though miles may separate, our spirits intertwine.

But dawn breaks the spell, reality's cold embrace,
Your voice fades away, leaving an empty space.
She's returned, my love, to her rightful place,
And I, a ghost, linger in this lonely space.

Yet, before the year's end, a final request,
A fleeting moment, to ease my unrest.
Tell me you're happy, that you've found your peace,
So I may release you, and finally cease,
To yearn for a love that was meant to cease.

The best gifts are not wrapped in paper. They are wrapped with love, kindness, truth and gentleness. Let us not look for the things we do not have, instead, let us be happy and look at everything that we have been blessed with. Merry Christmas everyone!

A fleeting dance, this life we weave,
Where shadows linger, and emotions grieve.
But know, dear soul, these sorrows fade,
Like morning mist, in sunlit glade.

Your anger's fire, a fleeting flame,
Your pain, a whisper, an echoing name.
These feelings, tides that ebb and flow,
A transient dance, a fleeting show.

For even joy, a fleeting gleam,
A precious moment, a cherished dream.
Your loved ones, stars that softly gleam,
Will fade, like embers, in a dying stream.

So chase the sun, where adventure calls,
Let passion's fire, ignite your walls.
Don't settle for the mundane and tame,
Embrace the wild, the untamed flame.

For time, a river, swiftly flows,
Don't waste a moment, let your spirit grow.
Don't seek approval, from the judging crowd,
But find your own path, bold and proud.

Let go of chains, of burdens borne,
Embrace the dawn, where joy is reborn.
Choose happiness, a radiant hue,
Let your spirit soar, forever new.

"It's Time to Let Go"

Holding on to pain only hurts more. It's time to let go of what's causing you suffering.

Letting go of someone you deeply love is painful, but it's necessary. By clinging to a love that's no longer there, you're only prolonging your agony.

Stop begging for love. You deserve to be cherished, not pitied.

Letting go is hard, but staying in a one-sided relationship is harder. Don't let yourself be a fool. Choose yourself.

Accept that it's over. Don't fight a losing battle alone. Let go before you get hurt even more.

If you truly love someone who no longer loves you, set them free. If they've found happiness elsewhere, let them be.

It's easier on your heart to let go gracefully. Seeing them happy with someone else is better than watching them be miserable with you.

Choose peace of mind. Letting go will lift a heavy weight off your chest.

So let go. Let them go. And let yourself be happy and free.

What have I done with this life I hold?
Have I touched the hearts of men,
or am I merely a vessel, drifting, bold?

Seasons wither and fade away,
Time's relentless march never seems to sway.

Another rat race starts anew,
Like little children, we fill our money tins, chasing dreams we pursue.

Lone wolves howl beneath the moon,
Searching for a home,
Yet destined to always roam.

Like stray dogs in search of bones,
With no master to share ancient tomes.

Have we succumbed to an inevitable fate?
Our eyes wide shut to the suffering of hate.

Though thorn and thistle feed our gristle,
Still, we find our path,
through the winds that whistle.

Imagine you're walking down the street and you find two bills on the ground: a $5 bill and a $100 bill. Which one would you pick up first? 🧐

Most people would instinctively grab the $100 bill. Why? Because it holds more value.

This principle applies to choosing a life partner too. While love is undoubtedly important, considering a person's value – their financial stability, intellectual growth, and personal development – is equally crucial.

Just like that $100 bill, we should aim to partner with someone who is a valuable asset to our lives. Someone who contributes meaningfully to our growth, supports our aspirations, and enriches our lives in every way.

And just like that $100 bill, we should aim to be the best version of ourselves, to cultivate our talents, and to contribute meaningfully to the world around us.

Remember, a successful partnership isn't just about love; it's about finding someone who values themselves and contributes positively to your own journey. Invest in yourself, and watch your value soar!
