New Girl Dark NewGirlDark Poems

Some people grow up surrounded by love.

Their dreams are held by voices that encourage them.
...

There are days
when I smile
like everything is fine,
and no one notices
...

I loved you in shadows,
where light cannot wound,
where souls burn quietly
unseen.
...

I loved you in shadows,
where light could not betray us,
where silence spoke louder
than any promise.
...

'The House That Swallowed Me'

I grew up holding keys not mine,
open doors… but I stayed inside.
...

I do not remember my sin,
only the weight of their voices
sharp, undeserved,
echoing in a child's chest.
...

They didn't remove me for failing,
they removed me for shining
where light feels uncomfortable.
They clap in daylight,
...

Love does not bloom
in rooms built on imbalance,
where one is throne and the other
kneels in silence dressed as devotion.
...

I love you like night loves a fading breath,
no promises of light, no fear of death.

You are the shadow that holds me near,
...

Death does not scream, it knows my name,
it walks in silence, never the same.
Not here to steal, but to remind,
that all we are will soon unwind.
...
