Again, the helpless heart pulls me
It can’t stand the distance
What to do?

The heart longs to finish
That talk left incomplete,
That memory half-forgotten.

Maybe destiny wants us to keep meeting
The heart hopes to make it last forever.
That path still waits,
That wish still lingers.
I keep coming back
to those quiet moments
where your laughter used to be.

The way we talked about everything—
and nothing at all.
The way you made it all feel lighter.

I keep coming back
because the heart never really forgets
what felt like home.
Prayer is love that lives inside,
A quiet hope we cannot hide.
It’s the deepest kind of care,
A gentle gift sent through the air.

The most precious thing we share,
A way to show how much we care
For every soul we hold so near,
With silent wishes whispered clear.
I say stuff you never hear,
Chasing things that disappeared.
People tell me, “Move on, dude,”
But my heart’s stuck—it’s kinda rude.

This poem’s messy, kinda real,
Just like how I always feel.
Not perfect, but it’s all I’ve got—
A little truth, a lot of thought.
I wrote so many poems,
I thought they were just words.
But every line was really you—
Every beat, every verse.

I didn’t see it then,
How you were all I had.
I lost myself in your echo,
In the ink that made me glad.

My heart was your canvas,
My soul was your stage.
Every poem, every thought—
You’re the one I can’t erase.
I let you go,
I thought it was right.
Now I’m alone,
Missing you at night.

I wish I’d stayed,
Fought for us more.
Your memory stays—
I’m still at that door.
I think I loved you too much,
Gave you all of me, every touch.
I smothered you in every way,
Afraid you’d ever drift away.

I see it now, the mess I made—
The fear, the fights, the endless chase.
I know I wasn’t perfect, true—
I let my ego shadow you.

There was a hope you’d see it all—
The mess I made was just for you.
The mess I’ve become, a twisted plea,
Because you were everything,
Everything to me.

You were the world I wouldn’t lose,
A light I couldn’t help but choose.
I know it’s wrong, but it’s still true—
The mess I’ve made is all for you.
