"There is a dip in my pillow where her head came to rest."

In the darkness of my roomTracing shadows left behindThere’s a dip in my pillow stillWhere your head came to restPress my face into the creaseTo chase the scent you left behindI find the memory of your touchA ghost that haunts,...

I'm with you, it's so unthinkable. My heart races whenever I think of you. It's so obvious and so incontrovertible. No one ever could tell me what to do. In my arms, I don't want to make you harassed. For...

Betrayal From My Ex With His Bestie, Tina

Press the Right Keys

"A short poem inspired by an opening line from LinaDS2025"

Press the right keys and my body shall sing our song,Soft as your whispers, eager as the dawn,Fingertips mapping melodies along my skin,Each note a promise, every hush a longing drawn. We move through moonlit crescendos, breath entwined,Your laughter the rhythm,...
