Lingering Loss


The chocolate wrapper now turned to ash
The smoke lingers,
I'm trying to pay attention to the book in my lap
I'm trying not to miss a single word, a single dash
With my trailing fingers,
I'm trying to create a roadmap
To save my ship so close to getting lost in the dark sea 
To unravel the mysteries and find the key
To let the warm water fill my lungs and set me free
The rose petals all withered now
The smell lingers,
These pages failed to save them and so did I
These pages need to be dried and trained somehow
You remembered my favorite singers,
But I could tell the love was not as fresh as the token
And no one else had ever made me dream with my eyes open
No one else had ever consoled me with the words unspoken
No one else had ever paused to fix the broken
The gold jewellery now gone green
The memory lingers,
You felt so real, I forgot it was all a dream
You played so well, I forgot we're not on the same team
Happy pictures all over,
You scream to my face and tell me not to make a scene
"Changes don't happen overnight", I would've believed you if it wasn't your daily routine
I wish we would end our conversations without a bleeding finger or a broken screen.

Why Pride and Prejudice Endures: A Look at the Timeless Appeal of a Classic Novel

Hey everyone! I'm back with another post and today I'm going to talk about one of my most favorite novels ever. Pride and Prejudice by the legend herself, Miss Jane Austen. Pride and Prejudice is a classic novel that has captured the hearts of readers for centuries. The story follows the lives of the Bennett family, particularly the daughters, as they navigate the societal expectations and pressures of the early 19th century. While the novel is often seen as a romance, it is also a commentary on the societal norms and values of the time.  One of the main themes of Pride and Prejudice is the idea of pride and prejudice or the pride that individuals take in their social status and the prejudices that they hold about others based on their status. The character of Mr. Darcy is a prime example of this, as he initially looks down on those who are not of his social class, including the Bennett family. However, as the story progresses, Darcy begins to see the error of his ways and ...

Fragile Remnants

It's like each breath comes with a condition of being alone Love's icy touch leaves me with a numb body, a mind of stone Maybe I'd tolerate the skin, but I hate it when it sinks deep into my bone. The poems can't be written without letting go of every hand I've ever known The evil is buried somewhere, or it would've been a struggle to switch the tone Why does peace come to me at the price of giving up everything I own? The wound becomes fresh every time the scar is shown Broken heart, moist eye, for sins such as this, I can never atone  You can feel me sinking daggers into your flesh, then tell me how you still condone?
