Time Ticks

By




Time ticks 

time sticks 

time melts 

no shit! 

we only live 

so many years 

so why do we inflict 

so many tears?

the way we treat each other 

is so absurd 

we should be loving each other 

not speaking hateful words 

I write about moments 

that set me free 

I write about the love 

that lives within me 

I write about the madness 

that I cannot control 

time keeps ticking 

so I must write 

out my soul 

I will never know 

how much time I have left 

so I’m going to keep 

spilling ink 

even if I can’t make sense 

I’m open 

I’m pure 

I’m real 

I try to cure 

emotional trauma 

that always effects 

every pore in our beings 

you know?

the shit that won’t let us rest?

time is of the essence 

let’s make it enjoyable 

one life 

one heart 

trying to silence the noise 

if you’re wrecked 

pick up the pieces 

if you’re upset 

just keep believing 

everything you do 

is for a reason 

you are important! 

every one of us is bleeding 

be proud of your scars 

be proud of yourself 

every one of us 

has experienced 

a shattered heart 

it heals 

we move on 

we can’t conceal 

everything we are 

open yourself 

open your eyes 

we only have one chance 

at this beautiful life

time is an illusion 

time is a freak 

time is filled with good 

and bad memories 

take this all in 

breathe it in deep 

time is a fairytale 

the ticking hands are something 

we will never really see 

in yourself

you must always believe 

it’s the only thing 

you’ll ever need

to be truly free. 

Time is an illusion 

time is a freak! 

time is filled with 

good and bad memories..

Set your heart and soul free!!! 

Dig deep!!

The Night You Disappeared

By
We met by chance, not looking, not planning, Two souls drifting, somehow landing. A match, a spark, a quiet kind of glow, A vibe we didn’t force, it just began to grow. That one long night, we talked till light, No masks, no filters, it all felt right. Laughter in the pauses, truth in every line, For a moment, it felt like you were already mine. But just like that... you slipped away, No warning, no reason, not a word to say. You disappeared into silence, left me in the blue, And I’m still here, wondering what happened to you. I don’t blame you. Maybe life pulled you fast, Or maybe we were a flame not meant to last. Still, I replay those hours in my head, Every word, every laugh, every little thing you said. Like truth or dare. I miss you, not just your name on my screen, But the way your presence made everything feel serene. It’s strange, how someone so briefly known Can leave behind an ache so deeply grown. But I carry no anger, only this quiet ache, A gentle hope that time can’t bre...

I'm Sorry, I can't live with out you.

By
With every breath, I miss you so,  A broken heart, with love to show. Your absence, a storm that won't end, In shadows deep, where my sorrows blend. I remember that night we hid on the roof,   Long hangouts on the stairs, hidden from truth.   The first time I saw you, a vision so bright,   We skipped through our days, chasing the light. We bunked our classes for amusement park rides,   Where laughter and joy were the only guides.   In private tuitions, our eyes would meet,   In class parties, your jealousy made my heart beat. I’d walk behind you, to school, every day,   Following closely, not a word to say.   Your mother beside you, I stayed out of sight,   But my heart was yours, from morning to night. We strolled by the sea, danced in the rain,   In taxis and whispers, where love knew no pain.   But those days have faded, where did they go?   We lost...

Whispered Love But She Knows It’s Her

By
They’ll see the post. They’ll probably stop for a second, glance at the image, maybe even skim through the words. Then they’ll scroll on, just like always. No one will really understand what this is. Except her. She’ll feel it, not in her head, but deep down. In the way only she can. Because this wasn’t written for the world. This wasn’t meant to be seen. These words were pulled from the quietest part of me… that silent space between heartbeats when I first saw her. That moment didn’t just stick with me, it rewired something. I don’t want to say her name. I don’t need to. It’s in everything now. It’s in the way I breathe. It’s in how my hands shake every time her smile crosses my mind. That smile didn’t just make me feel something, it broke something open. It got past everything I’ve built to protect myself. And with one simple look, she did what nothing else could: made me lose control. Me, the one who always keeps it together… undone, completely. And her eyes o Allah, her...
