New Girl Dark NewGirlDark Poems

Some people grow up surrounded by love.
Their dreams are held by voices that encourage them.
Others grow up in silence.
We learn to hide our hopes in places where no one can touch them. To walk alone, even when the road feels heavy.
...

There are days
when I smile
like everything is fine,
and no one notices
...

I loved you in shadows,
where light cannot wound,
where souls burn quietly
unseen.
...

I loved you in shadows,
where light could not betray us,
where silence spoke louder
than any promise.
...

Loving them was like entering a broken house,
whispering I could fix it.
I spoke softly, offered calm, lit candles
where there was only shadow.
...

Love did not cure the curse.

It could not erase what lived in the blood.
