If i was made for you,
why was it so easy to walk away?
If I’m custom made,
I shouldn’t be returned.
You went with the used,
and this order is delayed.
Picked up and mislaid,
Forever adjourned.
I was built to fit the shape of your hands,
but you dropped me effortlessly.
I fell to all your commands,
and you left me carelessly.
Tailored to fit you perfectly,
but swapped for the one that doesn’t fit.
It played out so deliberately,
and wishing you would’ve commit.
Custom made is the most expensive price,
never find the perfect match.
Always looking for the fine details,
which you’ll never find in another.
Now you’ll have your final vice,
while wishing you could detach.
Not appreciating what custom made entails,
but hopefully you’re happy with the other.
love poem
What You Didn’t Keep
Resilience of nature after an Ice Age
Emotional depth of the unexplored oceans
Giving like the infinite time
Support of a foundation-sturdy and strong
A guiding path of a compass
Heartbeats that are loyal to life
Laughter that provides sunshine on dark days
Dedication of the roots deep into the soil
Passion of earth’s magma uncontrollably bursting
Attraction of the tide to the moon
Warmth of the hearth in the coldest winter
Love of the vow chosen and kept
Understanding as a lens four a better view
Reflective of the trees that dance on a calm lake
Strength of a mountain growing with resistance
Motivation of a spark that burns the fuel
Calm of the deep breath relaxing before bed
Giggles that escape seeing confetti fall
Carefree as a bird in the summer air
Loyalty outlasting the North Star
Bravery as a soldier guarding the Unknown Soldier
Protector from all of life’s weathered storms
Beautiful as the Northern Lights
Rarer than nature’s made snowflake
Trustworthy bedrock-never shifting
Kind like sunlight through dark clouds
Dependable as a lighthouse, guiding ships
Respectful let’s voice in a quiet library
Patient water wearing down stone
Wise old maps that tell history
Curious with childlike growth
Encouraging like the wind pushing on your back
Reliable just as the earth turns
Fair like a perfectly balanced scale
Revert Time
There’s a chill in the air,
as if your eyes trace my outline.
You’ve stepped into my snare,
and now we’re intertwined.
Just make the move you long for,
and I’ll be yours forevermore.
This happened by chance,
and it took me by surprise.
An unforgettable romance,
no one else has been able to provide.
And I can’t seem to let it go,
your memory haunts me in the undertow.
You found pieces of me I kept hidden,
but you opened them with ease.
In places where pain had ridden,
you touched my heart and brought me peace.
With you, I could be myself,
all the parts guarded, you knew well.
A side of me I forgot existed
happiness and laughter that’s been missing.
A spark, awakened, no longer resisted
a warmth returning and glistening.
I’m a fool for you,
and I’d do anything you asked me to.
It was a connection like no other,
like discovering my long-lost friend.
Souls that recognized each other,
an unexpected beginning I didn’t intend.
But it all crashed down,
silence echoing where love once drowned.
When did it all go wrong?
Was it all in my head?
Was the answering whispering all along?
Was it hope held by a fragile thread?
Just another name to add to the list,
Once was bliss, now a ghost in the mist.
Do I suffocate myself or let it go?
I don’t want to try anymore.
Do I vanish or watch myself grow?
I thought I found something worth fighting for.
This was an unexpected attack,
a hit that has a lasting impact.
And now I’m here in silence, alone.
The sun never rises, always midnight.
Quiet memories we used to call our own,
my heart swallowed by the void of light.
An emptiness that lingers within,
finding love, I’ll never win.
I know the way you watch
tells me everything you won’t say aloud.
Burns in your heart and mine like a torch
a longing whisper of words you won’t allow.
If fate allowed, I ache for those moments
their echoes remain, stubborn and torments.
It’s a battle I fight every day,
wishing to wipe my mind clean before you came.
Storms are brewing inside and won’t go away,
thoughts undone, every thought aflame.
Despite the pain, I wouldn’t revert time;
every memory was sublime and made my soul climb.

Leasing Love On A Whim
(Verse 1)
You let me go like it was nothing at all,
Missed out on the long haul.
Crashing down like a tsunami wave,
But I rebuilt my world on better days.
Now you’re scrolling through the faded frame,
Wondering who is the flame
You traded depth for something that is broken
Now you feel the echo of words never spoken.
(Pre-Chorus)
You took something that was familiar
Just remember, second place is silver.
I’m steady where you found me fragile and free
Guess absence taught you what you couldn’t see.
(Chorus)
You gave me up and now you miss us
All because you were treasonous
I’m careful now, not leasing love on a whim.
I’m moved on, holding love only within
All you said was just empty words
I’m still the one you prefer
Now you dream of me late at night
While I’m living it up in the pale moonlight
(Verse 2)
You chase the easy thrill, but at what cost?
Upon your heart I have embossed.
You’re calling through the noise,
I’ll maintain my poise
I held my ground, you had the best
Now your heart is feeling suppressed
You send a message dressed in second thoughts,
Thinking gestures can stitch what time forgot.
(Bridge)
Regret’s a slow and honest kind of ache,
It shows up late and asks for one more break.
What are the chances of it happening again?
I think about it every now and then.
(Chorus)
You gave me up and now you miss us
All because you were treasonous
I’m careful now, not leasing love on a whim.
I’m moved on, holding love only within
All you said was just empty words
I’m still the one you prefer
Now you dream of me late at night
While I’m living it up in the pale moonlight
(Outro)
So come with better words than longing and luck
Don’t come around when you’re moonstruck.
I’m not a rescue or a safety net to mend the cracks
I want it all—not something that lacks.
