Running From Death
Xio Feb 26
I locked the doors, I shut them tight, I hid away, I killed the light.
But through the cracks, so thin, so wide, I heard him laugh, "You cannot hide."

The Hole in the Sky
Xio Feb 26
A crack above, so thin, so wide, It calls, it pulls, it yawns inside.
The sky is wrong, the stars aren’t true—And now it’s reaching down for you.

Impossible
Xio Jan 7
It might seem impossible but that doesn't mean it is, impossibility is like a nightmare, but a nightmare always ends in a dream.
Xio Feb 26
I move, it moves, it follows tight, It shifts, it sways, just out of sight.
But when I left, it stayed behind, And in its place, I’m trapped inside

Something
Xio Dec 2024
I feel something's missing
I can't tell what it is now
maybe it's you
ever since you've left
I haven't been acting like myself
Xio Mar 4
I am not a villain. They shouldn't have treated me like one.

What if?
Xio Dec 2024
What if the sky was never blue?
What if phones never existed?
What if what we wished for came true?
What if the world was never so twisted?

What if we still lived in old ages?
Just fighting to survive?
What if we always told the truth?
And never told believable lies?

What is cigarettes were never made?
What if cancer never started?
What if animals were never caged?
What if assassins never plotted?

Change
Xio Jan 7
Every second, every minute, every hour, everyday, is a chance to change, don't think you can't just because you don't want to.

Disguised
Xio Feb 28
There are so many monsters in this world, and they're all humans.

Not Alone
Xio Feb 26
I hear the steps, the distant sound, Yet when I turn, there’s nothing found.
But something’s breathing, soft and slow—It knows my name. It lets me know.
83 · Feb 26
Ghosted
Xio Feb 26
They vanished fast, left me behind, A living ghost, just not the kind-
That haunts the halls and slams the door, but one that no one sees anymore.
Xio Mar 4
I forgive a lot, but I never forget what's done and said.

Overshadowed
Xio Feb 25
They always want to see you do good, but never better than them.

Risk
Xio Mar 11
Love is like giving someone a gun pointed directly at your heart and hopping they won't shoot.
79 · Jan 30
Memories
Xio Jan 30
The thing that hurts even more than loosing them, is remembering all the good times we've had together.

Already Gone
Xio Feb 26
I turned to flee, but froze instead, For where I stood, my body bled.
My breath was gone, my voice was too—And death just sighed, “I followed you.”
78 · Jan 22
Love
Xio Jan 22
Love is like a fire, warming your soul,
But it burns if you’re careless, devours you whole.
It whispers of joy, then it shouts out in pain,
A dance in the sunshine, a kiss in the rain.

It’s giving your heart with no guarantee,
A ship on the waves, adrift on the sea.
Yet still, we all chase it, though it cuts like a knife,
For love, in its sorrow, gives meaning to life.

Smoking...
Xio Jan 26
Started with one every month,
Now, I've lost track of how many I've done,
A pleasure that comes with insufferable pain,
Told myself "Tomorrow" but it's always the same,

I've lost a war that I've been trying to win,
I feel trapped in a cycle I got myself stuck in,
A shadow that haunts me and doesn't even try to hide the lie,
It started with one pack, and now my lungs are starting to die...
76 · Jan 28
Unbothered
Xio Jan 28
Confidence is not "will they like me?"
It's "I'll be fine if they don't."
75 · Dec 2024
Flawless
Xio Dec 2024
Something's missing in my chest, I think I need a medic, I've been looking for a flaw in you, I don't really get it, you don't evеn know you're flawless, and it's giving me a hеadache
75 · Feb 26
Whispering Shadows
Xio Feb 26
The night is cold, the moon is high, A shadow moves, it breathes a sigh.
You turn to run, but feet won't go, The whisper calls—you'll never know.
74 · Dec 2024
Art
Xio Dec 2024
Art
Yes, you never looked nice. You looked like art, and art wasn't supposed to look nice; it was supposed to make people feel something.

Broken
Xio Jan 3
I'll give them my heart, they'll break it in a second, and yet here I am, still missing their presence.
70 · Feb 18
Unheard
Xio Feb 18
They know your name, not your story, they've heard what you've done, not what you've been through
69 · Dec 2024
You
Xio Dec 2024
You
Your smile is like a sun, it brightens my day, your voice is like the wind, it sways me away, you think you're another person, but I see a star, you think you need to change how you act, but I love the way you are.

Echoes of Us

Not friends, not enemies, just strangers with memories.

Mistake
Xio Dec 2024
If you repeat a mistake, it's not a mistake, it's a decision, no one can repeat a mistake unless they wanted to.

Free Time
Xio Jan 8
Like the people who talk to you in their free time, but love the people who make free time to talk to you.

Winter
Xio Dec 2024
The wind sings a whisper through the trees, a haunting tune of winter's breeze. Frost paints patterns on the glass, echoes of the season's past.

Snowflakes dance in the pale moonlight, a quiet ballet in the night. Stars twinkle in the velvet sky, as winter's melody drifts by.

Fireplaces crackle with a warm embrace, homes alight with a cozy space. The world outside in white repose, as winter's song gently flows.

Wrong and Right

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong, and start being excited about what can go right.

Buried Alive
Xio Feb 25

Scars of Time
Xio Jan 27
Time doesn’t heal wounds; it only teaches you how to live with them. Once glass is broken, it can never truly be glued back together.

Resilience.

“People cry not because they’re weak, it’s because they’ve been strong for too long.”

Proven
Xio Feb 3
Friendship isn't about who you've known the longest, it's about the person who walked in your life, said "I'm here for you." And proved it.

Vampires
Xio Jan 19
They roam where shadows softly fall,
Silent whispers, pale and tall.
With eyes that gleam like a dying star,
They watch, they wait, from near and far.

Their touch is cold, their breath is still,
A promise sweet, a deadly thrill.
Eternal nights, they choose to roam,
For blood is life, and dark their home.

Reality
Xio Jan 13
The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.

Thoughts In Silence
Xio Jan 13
The room still, the silence so loud,
The peace and quite, not a single sound,
My thoughts fill, the void of the room,
As my mind leaves Earth, and travels to the moon.

I close my eyes, my head leaned against the wall,
As I think of the universe, the Earth feels small,
The silence filling the rooms emptiness,
My mind traveling far, into the abyss.

True Colours
Xio Mar 4
People don't change, they either show who they really are or just stay how they always were.
