A mess of words

Not a poet just your average person😶‍🌫️

[theywhoare]

The day a person leaves,

It is like any other.

At least

For those

Who were not left behind.

What remains now

Is only half.

A heart torn open,

Forced to beat alone.

A road once walked by two

must now become one.

For some,

It was only a day in spring.

For others,

A heart was lost.

And now

Only echoes remain

[theywhoare]

What do you do

When a hole

The size of a person

Is left behind?

What do you do

When you know

You will never see them again?

How are you supposed to feel

When someone you knew

Is no more?

[theywhoare]

I wake up every day

With the same question

Burning in my mind —

Why am I still here?

Yesterday after yesterday,

I wished

that today would not come.

And still

It does.

No matter what I do,

Morning finds me.

[theywhoare]

You call me.

But who am I

to answer you,

when I have wounded you—

I who was meant to shelter you?

How can I reach for you,

My King?

My branches made you sick.

My roads twisted your feet.

And my love broke you.

My beloved king,

still you call me.

I long for your embrace.

Forgive me.

My lord—

I will answer you.

[theywhoare]

It is all over.

Finally over.

A new life is beginning.

The old must end.

So a dying star

wished upon this night

that life must go on,

that the sky stays blue

and the grass stays green.

The star will die today—

but nothing will change

[theywhoare]

A wish was made

But who knew the end was near?

A wish was made

One terrible choice

A wish was made

A coin was thrown

A wish was made

The last one, the very last

A wish was made

With words spoken

Chasos engulfed the world

A wish was made

And nothing reamained

[theywhoare]

A tree stands alone.

Night falls,

and no moon can shine.

A path was lost this night.

A shadow was born—

one whose light is unreachable.

Hurry, my dear.

You might still reach me yet.

[theywhoare]

I feel lonely

So alone

I once wished we could be friends

I never knew

Why you turned away

Every step I took

Somehow led back to you

Why is my life so close to yours?

In crowded places

It is always you I meet —

again

and again.

Was it not enough

To simply walk past me?

Must I always feel

Like I am in your way?

Am I truly so alone?

So easy to forget?

Tell me—

Have you no compassion?

[theywhoare]

You are so cold,

like a lake frozen over.

You who used to be sunshine—

what changed?

We used to be close.

You held me tight each night,

but now ice is all I get.

I used to think we’d end up together.

[theywhoare]

A bite will come

On a dark night

When light shines not

A bite will come

To mark,

To free,

To spill

What is most precious.

[theywhoare]

TOY

That seems to be all I am

Just some toy

Thrown around playground,

interesting while new.

Forgotten when something newer appears

I feel like a toy

that a child once loved

and used to play with

Now laying in a corner

collecting dust

Once so important

Now just there

But I gues thats just life

Isn't it?

[theywhoare]

It is a wonderful day outside.

I wish I could share it with you.

I want to share all my days with you—

but I am the only one who sees them now.

I linger in memories long past.

Oh, what I would give

to see your smile once more—

that beautiful smile, those eyes

so bright, filled with the light of stars.

But memory is all I have.

And in my heart,

I still wish you stayed

[theywhoare]

JOY

There is so much of it in this world.

So much of it in me.

So much I want to share—

a quiet, innocent joy

that feels too large to hold alone.

I see it in strangers’ laughter,

in dogs running without reason,

in leaves turning toward the sun.

It lives in all of us—

in every human,

every animal,

every growing thing.

We share this world together,

and somewhere between us

that joy keeps shining.
