The Splinter Beauty

Through the eyes of the him

Angie Eliza 

*kpop inspired*

She was the storm I thought I could calm,
But I was just the eye, quiet and still.
I tried to hold her as the winds raged,
But the tighter I grasped, the further she slipped.
Now I'm left with the wreckage of what we were.

She smiled like the sky before it rained,
And I never learned to carry an umbrella.
Her laugh was a secret I tried to keep,
But it echoes now in a place I can't find.
I'm lost in the quiet that she left behind.

There was a song she used to hum,
And now it plays in the back of my mind.
I tried to catch her in the melody,
But every note just fades into silence.
Still, I sing to the air where she used to stand.

She left without a single goodbye,
Just the soft closing of a door behind her.
I chase her shadow, hoping she'll turn back,
But the light fades more every day.
I wonder if I'll ever stop reaching for the past.

She danced like she was made of stars,
But stars burn out quicker than I could see.
I wasn't fast enough to keep up with her light.
Now, I watch the empty space where she shined.
I wish I had held her before she slipped away.

She used to read between my quiet lines,
Finding pieces of me no one else saw.
Now, I write letters she'll never read,
Words buried in a silence louder than truth.
I wonder if she's forgotten who I am.

She played my heart like an old song,
Each note falling into place until it broke.
I still hum that tune, though it's out of key,
But it doesn't sound the same anymore.
The music lingers, even as her memory fades.

She was the sunrise, but she left with the dusk,
Taking every shadow and leaving only night.
I followed her footsteps, but the path disappeared.
Now I walk alone in the dark,
Waiting for the light she used to bring.

Her touch was the softest breeze,
But now the wind cuts through me like glass.
I built a home in the warmth of her hands,
But she took it with her when she left.
I'm standing in the cold, waiting for her return.

She painted the world in colors I never knew,
But now everything is black and white.
I search for her in the gray between,
But no shade could ever bring her back.
The colors faded with her, and I'm left with nothing.

Her voice was the sound of morning light,
But now the mornings are unbearably quiet.
I still wait for her to say my name,
But all I hear is the echo of my own.
I never thought silence could feel so loud.

She was the wind, always moving, never still,
And I could never figure out how to hold her.
Now she's carried far away,
And I'm left with the dust she left behind.
I wonder if she ever felt my absence too.

She used to say forever like she meant it,
But forever came quicker than I thought.
Now I stand on the edge of what we were,
Looking into the space she left behind.
She promised the stars, but all I have is the dark.
