I woke, my eyes heavy with the weight of sleep,
but the moment they opened, they filled with tears.
There you were—silent, still,
as if I were the only one
...
Move on as fast as you can
He doesn't love you, he doesn't need you,
He is a man with a fickle heart.
He will never know how much he's hurt you—
...
The Rose and the Word
'The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.' (Isaiah 40: 8)
...
Oh God of wonder
God of Grace
Here I stand before you
Humbled and broken
...
Father, Gracious Father, Healer of hearts,
I lift my broken soul to You,
Seeking mercy to mend what is torn,
Strength to stand through this storm.
...
Does it really matter
how I feel tonight?
The silence wraps around me,
cold and tight.
...
On driving home tonight, I searched the sky
for something, something even I was not sure
of. ‘Tis a trifle sad when you have this longing
and you are not particularly certain
...
Standing here and soaking in Your presence Lord
Leaves me so amazed, in awe of Your grace
Your love is immeasurable and tireless
You pursued my sin laden life's road
...
My body now worn and riddled with pain
FATHER have mercy on me, LORD have mercy on me
...
I am hurting, still no call
Not a word
This silence unbearable
Where are you?
...
Lord, open my eyes, that I may truly see,
The love You've planted deep within my soul,
Lord, in Your grace, let visions of peace unfold—
A quiet whisper, a dream that makes me whole.
...
The Beauty of You
The beauty of you in everything I see
From the glowing fire in the skies
...
I blink to stop the tears from falling,
but they keep coming, like a river I can't dam.
How could it end this way, when you gave up on me,
and the dreams we once shared are now nothing but dust?
...
Don't look past her, look into her heart
Don't deny this feeling, let it flow
Let this warmth soak into your heart
Let love be what it's meant to be
...
How can I let you go,
When I feel your heart beat like a quiet drum,
Pulling me closer with every throb,
A rhythm I cannot escape?
...
Lord, open my eyes, that I may truly see
Your love, a seed planted deep within my heart,
Lord, in Your grace, let visions of peace arise—
A quiet whisper, a blest dream that lifts the soul.
...
I am left standing here
With tears burning my eyes
And my heart tearing with pain
I am trying to remember
...
The Best Poem Of Starfish ZA
Couldn't You Just Pretend
I woke, my eyes heavy with the weight of sleep,
but the moment they opened, they filled with tears.
There you were—silent, still,
as if I were the only one
aware of what was breaking.
This would be the last time—
the last time I'd wake beside you.
Couldn't you pretend?
Couldn't you fake it, just for a little while?
Couldn't you make believe we were still
the way we used to be?
Couldn't you love me, just a little bit?
I want to touch you,
to feel the warmth of you,
but my hands tremble
as they reach out.
Your body lies next to mine,
but it feels as though you are oceans away.
I need to feel your love again,
like a flame to my skin,
but the coldness between us
grows thicker, heavier.
Couldn't you pretend?
Just once, pretend you still care—
a fleeting spark in your eyes,
the warmth of a smile that once held my world.
Couldn't you try to hold me like before?
Couldn't you love me too?
Silently, I rise from our bed,
slipping away into the shadows.
The bed feels emptier now,
the space where you once held me,
now hollow, abandoned.
I leave quietly,
but each step feels like it's breaking me more.
I can't bear for you to see me cry again.
So I leave, without a sound,
but your voice, soft as a whisper,
reaches out, pulling me back.
You call my name,
faint and hesitant,
but I can't turn to you.
I keep walking,
my heart torn between the door and your voice.
Still, I hesitate.
Couldn't you pretend?
Couldn't you hold me again, just once,
and make it feel like we still have something?
Couldn't you make me believe
we could find our way back?
I turn, and you're there,
your eyes meeting mine.
And in that look, I see the truth—
the one I've been dreading.
All the hope I've been clutching
shatters like glass between us.
Your gaze is empty,
a silent farewell I wasn't ready for.
My last hope slips away,
and the door becomes my escape.
Couldn't you pretend?
Couldn't you just make believe
for the sake of what we once were?
Couldn't you love me too?
