Like meteor's blaze that can't endure, Life's joys and sorrows, both obscure. In melancholy's embrace we find,
The fleeting nature of humankind.

With each fading streak across the sky,
Dreams lost like stars in the vast unknown,
A bittersweet ache that's always grown.

The meteor's blaze, a moment's grace, Reflects the sorrow in its fiery trace,
Yet in its descent, a quiet art,
A reminder of endings, a brand new start.

In shadows cast, a beam of hope did gleam, Yet disappointment's weight crushed every dream
That once bright beam, now dulled by doubt, A flicker lost, its radiance snuffed out.

The future once painted with colors bright, Now fades to gray in the absence of light.

No fairy-tale ending, no grand finale, Just the battle-worn spirit's rally. The disappointment's sting, a bitter theme, Yet still, we endure, like a distant beam.

You were the melody of my life
The harmony that filled my soul
But you left me without a goodbye
And took away the music that made me whole

Now I sit alone in my room
With nothing but memories and sorrow
I wonder if you ever think of me too
Or if you have found a new tomorrow

I wish I could play my guitar again
And sing a song of love and hope
But all I feel is melancholy and pain
And the strings of my guitar are broken

I feel a skeleton inside my skin
It holds me up but weighs me down with sin
A reminder of the things I can't forget

And every time I reach out for the light
The skeleton pulls me back into the dark
It whispers in my ear that I'm not right
That I'm a broken piece that has no spark

And so I live in fear of what I am
A skeleton that can't escape its cage
A prisoner of fate without a plan

@tanweerdar
Skeletons do
Not belong in a closet
So I let them out

The night sky is a canvas of stars
Each one a spark of hope in the dark
But I feel no warmth from their light
Only a cold and lonely ache in my heart

I trace the shapes of the constellations
Trying to find a meaning or a sign

Maybe someday I will find a way
To heal the wounds that make me bleed
But for now I lie awake and wonder
If there is anyone who shares my grief

Upon the battlefield of woes, I stand,
Where shadows loom, and darkness spans,
Despair's cruel grip, a haunting hand,
In the heart of this desolate land.

I feel no pain, no fear, no sorrow
Only a numbness that fills my hollow
I have no hope, no dream, no goal
Only a despair that consumes my soul

I fall to my knees and close my eyes
But death does not come, it does not care
It leaves me alone with my despair.

In crowds, I wear a mask so strong,
To hide the ache that's been so long,
Yet, loneliness grips tight and fast,
An uninvited guest, an unwelcome blast.
The moon weeps tears of silver gleam,
Lost in the vastness of my mind,
Imprisoned thoughts, no escape find.
But here I stand, a hostage still,
A yearning heart against its will,
Hoping one day, this pain will flee,
And I'll find the key to set me free.

I feel like I'm in a trap
A cage of my own making
I can't see the light or the way out
I'm stuck in a cycle of self-doubt

I try to escape but I fail
I fall deeper into the dark
I lose hope and motivation
I'm drowning in isolation

I don't know how to break free
From this trap that holds me
I need someone to help me
To show me some empathy

Loneliness, a constant, silent friend,
A longing heart, on which I must depend.

In crowds, I stand apart, unseen, unknown,
A tendency to seek connection's call,
As distant memories of happier years.

The stars above, they twinkle and they gleam,
A cosmic dance, like fragments of a dream.
In this vast universe, I am small,
A tendency to ponder and enthrall.
