Introduction: Some people don’t cry—not because they’re numb, but because the ache has been folded into them like a letter no one will read. This poem is for those who are told to “let go” before they’re even ready to hold what they feel. It speaks for the quiet mourners, the silent strugglers, and the ones who’ve learned that sometimes, holding on is the only way to stay whole. They say, “Let go. Just cry. Breathe it out,” as if release were a faucet we could twist at will— as if tears don’t get jammed in the throat like apologies we never learned to say. But some of us hold on, not because we love the ache, but because the ache is all we’ve got that still feels real. We store our sorrow like love letters we can’t burn— crease-folded memories pressed in silence— because even pain has a pulse, and letting go sometimes feels like dying twice. So if I don’t weep when you think I should, if I smile with a tremble behind my teeth, know this: I’m not heartless— I’m haunted. I’m just someone...

She once shone brightly as a star, but in trying to illuminate the paths of others, she became a mere candle, dimming until she nearly lost herself entirely. This poem is a meditation on that slow, painfu...

Introduction: Love is never as simple as the stories tell us. It isn’t just about stolen glances and late-night talks—it’s about fighting for each other when everything feels like it’s falling apart. But what happens when love, no matter how deep, isn’t enough? This poem gave us a story that felt real—two souls drawn together yet torn apart by who they are. This poem captures that journey: the magic of beginnings, the unraveling, and the pain of letting go. I met you on a summer day, When words were few, but eyes would say. A coffee spill, a nervous grin, That’s how our story would begin. You coded worlds, so sharp, so bright, I chased the stars, the endless night. You spoke of logic, math, and rules, I broke the norms, defied the schools. Yet somehow, in that chaos wild, We laughed, we danced, we stayed awhile. The world felt lighter, hearts took flight, As day turned dusk and wrong felt right. We’d whisper dreams in twilight hours, Get lost in books and rooftop towers. You traced t...

Introduction: The mirror weaves a tale allowing us to confront the reality. But the reality is not always what we desire, is it? Mirror, mirror, on the wall, In your gaze, she stood so tall; The mirror cracked —a sound profound, Yet no reflection there was found. She rose, her heart in trembling fright, For the mirror's gaze she dared not invite; Yet she heard it shatter, piece by piece, Until at last, its discord did cease, She reached out and claimed the largest shard, A sight of dread that left her soul jarred; In the fractured glass, her image was not to be, But a grim, spectral lady —ominous and free. A chill raced swiftly down her spine so quick, The spectral vision left her feeling sick; A scar upon her face—a mark of endless night, Bleeding slowly, stripping the beauty of its light. Her heart did halt for one transient beat, In silent halls where no voices meet; Her breath was stolen as time slipped by, While darkness reigned beneath a desolate sky. A chilling scream pierce...
