New Girl Dark NewGirlDark Poems

The table stood still, yet the silence would speak,
while shadows grew longer and courage grew weak.

What started in laughter and innocent delight,
...

I opened my eyes in the dead of night,
yet my body refused to wake,
I tried to move, I tried to rise,
but every nerve began to break.
...

Loving them was like entering a broken house,
whispering I could fix it.
The walls trembled with old pain,
the windows carried cracks deep enough
...

Love did not cure the curse.

It could not erase what lived in the blood,
could not silence the shadows breathing beneath the skin.
...

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.
...
