Bittersweet Verses

I named you light in my midnight sky, knelt to your glow, let defenses die. I bared my storms to your silent flare, trusting the warmth that was never there. Hands full of hope reached into flame— fire, not rain, answered my name. You scorched the love I offered whole; ashes now guard a mending soul.

I spoke no sorrow, yet you heard, clearing skies without a word. I never shook—your steady grace held my storms in safe embrace. Crowds cheered loud; I needed none— your quiet smile outshone the sun. “I love you” never left my lips, but lingered in each look, eclipse. I didn’t dream you into sight— you’ve always been my heart, my light.

You arrived—my rhythm found its beat, filled the cracks, made me complete. Words can’t hold the bond we’ve grown, a quiet song our hearts alone have known. Moments with you dawn ever new; time slips, but love stays true. Thank you for turning “me” to “we—” I live inside your melody.

Whenever you appear, the world turns bright, My eyes bloom softly, catching your light. A smile escapes, wide and free, As if joy itself now lives in me. A gentle tune begins to play, A melody that won’t fade away. Your presence calms my restless tide, Like waves that hush when moon’s in sight. My heart grows light, its weight released, In your gaze, I find my peace. And deeper still, without a sound, My soul in love is truly found.

“If I fall,” she said, “promise me you won’t look away.” I held her gaze. “If you fall, I’ll be the ground,” I said. “And if you fly, I’ll be the sky you soar into.” She looked up at the sky, then back at me. And in a voice barely above a whisper, she said, “Promise me something.” “Anything.” “Don’t forget this version of me. The one that smiles without walls. The one who speaks without fear.”

I was so broken the day you left, Like the moon robbed of her silvery theft. Breath became a burden I forgot to take, Each heartbeat felt like a silent ache. Alive in form, but my soul was dead, Carrying echoes of the words you never said. I’d rather die wrapped in your embrace, Than chase another's fleeting face. Hate me, hurt me, push me away— Still, by your side, I vow to stay. Even if your love turns into hate, I'll wait outside your heaven's gate. If you fall into hell, I’ll walk through flame, And still whisper softly, calling your name. I’ll turn your fire into peaceful rain, Wear your sorrow, dance in your pain. Let me be your shield, your silent song, The arms that hold when days feel wrong. Your wounds I’ll kiss, your grief I’ll steal, If you're hurting, let me feel. For loving you is my sweetest ache, A bond that distance cannot break. So let me bleed, let me bend— If it's for you, I’ll break again.
