In the stillness of my hand,
a wounded butterfly chose to stay.
It didn't fly,
...
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.
...
I cry in silence so pain won't hear,
but sorrow always lingers near.
A broken echo in empty air,
...
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 was cursed before I even understood what love meant.
A demon marked me when I was only a child,
whispering that no heart would ever belong to me
...
Today I feel fragile,
and silence weighs more than before.
The hours move slowly around me,
like ghosts dragging chains across an empty floor.
...
We are surrounded by people…
and yet more and more souls fall asleep feeling invisible,
like ghosts wandering through brightly lit rooms where nobody truly looks at each other anymore.
...
'It is deeply disappointing
to witness how easily people
offer their trust to strangers,
to voices they barely know,
...
Happy Birthday to Me
There was no cake,
no candles slowly melting
...
🥀
They came like candles in the rain, soft voices calling out my name. I thought their hearts would stay the same, yet all they left behind was pain.
They wore their kindness like a veil, a ghostly ship with rotten sail. When storms arrived, their vows grew pale, and every promise seemed to fail.
...
I was not born into light… I was born into the crack. Into that place where love pretends to be eternal while it is already breaking, where promises sound sweet right before turning into poison. I grew up learning that everything that feels safe will eventually fall apart. I became silence when other people's words started to hurt more than emptiness. And inside that silence… I found the only way I could exist: writing. I am not a story of hope. I am a collection of fragments no one ever stayed long enough to hold. I am the messages left on "seen, " the hugs that never return, the looks that promised something that was never real. I write from the bottom of what is never said out loud. From the exact moment love stops being love and becomes an illusion held together by fear. From the wound that smiles so it doesn't disturb anyone. Inside me lives a broken, fierce, inevitable beauty. A beauty that does not heal… but reveals. Because every verse I write is a confession no one asked for, but my soul can no longer keep. I do not seek to be understood. Being understood would be too human for what I become when I write. I only seek not to disappear inside everything that once promised to stay. And if my voice sounds dark… it is because I learned that even night has memory. @NewGirlDark More at: https: //linktr.ee/newgirldark777)
Where Broken Wings Rest
In the stillness of my hand,
a wounded butterfly chose to stay.
It didn't fly,
it didn't flee,
it simply breathed softly,
as if the world no longer weighed so much.
Its broken wings were not defeat,
they were a story…
of wind, of struggle,
of a sky it could no longer reach.
I kept it in gentle shadows,
with sweetness and silence,
like someone holding a final breath
without trying to keep it.
Because some lives can't be saved,
but they can be accompanied.
And in that small moment,
between the fragile and the eternal,
it rested…
and I learned to let go. 🦋🖤
