I left to find myself, but instead, I met a stranger-someone new and unknown.
Or maybe I'm just holding on to the memory of someone from my past.
I wrote this poem to share what it feels like to be caught between moving on and still missing what was. It's about feeling saudade-this deep, quiet longing-and trying to open up to someone new, even when it feels hard.
Am I ready to let go? Or am I just trying to fill a space left behind?
Dating this stranger is my way of figuring it out.
This poem is my way of being honest about the confusion, the hope, and the fear that come with loving and losing.

Our Ending [OUR SERIES #1]
She had done something unforgivable. Put me in danger many times, almost ruined my dreams, made me believe that love exists between us but it was all a lie. A lie brought by her desperation for love that was once taken from her. And I don't want to sugarcoat her mistakes. She had done damage to me to the point that I felt like I was a compensation for all the pain she experienced in her past. She's taking it all on me. She became wicked and I couldn't recognize her. But then... maybe we're brought together so I could show her hope. That kindness and love isn't always linked on what is over. That she could move forward, forgive herself and make her realized that she doesn't always have to get back to the past to be love in the present. The past was only there to remind us of the road we took and not to torment us. Is it worth it though? Does she deserve my forgiveness after wrecking me? Does she deserve my love after all?

Burning Poems (Published Under Ukiyoto Publishing)
BOOK 1 Since she was very young she has been shunning people who want to approach her, because of the trauma from the past. She seems to have built a barrier that is hard to break and you will take the time to get inside it. But when a young boy she had just met came into her life, she did not fully imagine that it would be so easy for him to enter this boy himself through the barrier she had made. And the only way to get it out was to break her heart that seemed already closed and locked. My mind is telling me that we should stay like this and just cherish each other, but why do I feel something inside that seems forbidden? "You are my light, and if I lose you, I will be just darkness. That will never shine without you." "You once told me that your name means dark, yet you bring more sunlight in my life." When the light collided with the dark. Phaenna Cerulaean Dalton Adie Draven Erebus Dawson Started : July 2021 Ended : September 6, 2021Complete

What we have is just now. As long as she loves me. As long as she wants to be with me. As long as there is 'we'. I love her! But the rainbow is not just a blend of vibrant and bright colors. It doesn't even stay for a long period of time-- just enough for us to see and in a fleet of time is gone, leaving us wondering if it's real. A rainbow doesn't have black and white. It wasn't just like that. Same as love. Same as us. There were times that i want to give her up. Not because my love did fade, rather, my love is too much. Too much that letting her go is the only option left for her to choose me without hesitation, without guilt, freed of lies. I want her to grow, to weigh things as it is. I want her to make me feel that being with me is her choice. I want her to realize that i am hers and that she have to surrender herself to me as well. I want her to love me because that is the way she feels and not because it was the safest way. Being with her is paradise. It was a mixture of colored pastel. It was too vibrant to explain. But at a sudden twist of downs and ups, we are shaking. Loving her has become my weakness. The weakening thought of losing her when I fuck up is too much to run me insane. I'm overreacting perhaps. But being with her, means walking in a narrow-road of heaven. There's no security, no assurance. One wrong move, and I'll be slipping away. Just in the never ending pain of darkness, of solitude, of self-struggle. Loving her has become my addiction. I couldn't get enough of it. But so they say, what's too much can cause harm. Maybe I'm loving her too much that she finds it hard to breathe when i'm around. But yes, it is just a wishful thinking; things that I'll surely not going to say to her because i will never ever earn the courage to say so. We are just nothing but a 'fateful coincidence.'
L.O.V.E. - Love... Our Very End
The feelings faded from the first time. Will love still be able to get them back? Will love be the finish line for two broken hearts to be whole again? Or it will never be able to reach that line? What if the things you thought that was never there, was there? What if the revenge you did was for something she did for you and for you alone? What if you knew how selfless she was for loving you? Will you still be mad at her? What if the heartbreak she caused you is far more easier than the heartbreak you just knew which is the reason for the heartbreak of leaving you? Will you be able to gather up all the courage and be with her? Or is it too late to be with her?Complete

Taming the Wildflower (Buenvista#1)
*Not everything stated in the prologue accurately reflects the main ideas of the story.* Have you ever been so fierce, so strong, so untamed? Have you ever been so independent - always thinking, always saying you will never be weak? Have you ever felt invisible to everyone, like you're standing in a crowded room screaming silently, yet no one turns their head? You want to be seen, desperately, but it feels like they look right through you. Have you ever hated someone not for who they are, but for what they expect you to be? They admire your strength, applaud your resilience, and praise your confidence, but none of them have ever stayed long enough to witness your weakness. They only love the strong version of you, the one that doesn't cry, the one that holds everything together even when you're falling apart inside. And so, you hide it. You keep your silence and wear your strength like armor. Because if you break - who will catch you? If you let the tears fall - will they still respect you? Will they still stay when they finally see the parts of you that aren't as perfect or fearless? Sometimes, it feels like being strong has become your only identity. But what they don't know is that even the fiercest souls need rest, even the wildest hearts get tired, and even the strongest people long to be held-not because they are weak, but because they've been strong for too long. But you are not just strength. You are softness, too. You are the quiet ache behind the brave face, the sleepless nights behind the bright smile. And though you have survived countless seasons alone, deep down, there's a part of you whispering: Let someone in. Let someone see the chaos and call it beautiful. Let someone touch the thorns and still choose to stay. Maybe you're not meant to be tamed. Maybe you're meant to be understood. Because even wildflowers deserve a place to bloom freely, without having to hide their roots.Complete
Words I never Tell
At some point in my life, I choose to let go of her. And not because I stopped loving her, but because I had reached the point that I was drained and can no longer continue fighting for her when all she gives me in return is pain. It's not about asking to get my feelings reciprocated, I just realized that I deserve the same amount of love that I am giving. And it hurts to know that when I decided to let go, she didn't hold my hand to keep holding on. She never tried to fight for her place in my heart. -Hariette I'm not afraid of love. I am afraid to feel the pain. That's why I keep pushing you away. It's tiring. But I'm afraid that I will never heal and be whole again. Because nothing makes me happier and nothing makes me sadder than you." -Candice Love turned to loved. Saying first hello's to saying goodbyes. I love you to I miss you. Promises turned into sorry. Love isn't fair you know? What we have is more than that. Ours may not be normal. But isn't this what everyone wants? Stable and secure relationship. I love you and you love me. We trust each other like no one else can. There will be no pain in our kind of love. -AllistonComplete

A Strange Kind of Beautiful
Trapped in pages are words I've never spoken. An overwhelming happiness, grief, and love. A walking poem and the hidden poet. To admire from afar and to be loved silently. Surrender my sorrows and bleed on paper and since then I kept this story sacred. A reminder how I made it. A chapter where I stumbled, how crushed and crumbled but still survived. Only with a pen and a heart to mend. I lived.Complete
