The Zii FactorHow do I explain how desolate life feels without you?
The heart craves your presence and the eyes search only for you.
You're gone, maybe not forever,
But this feels like eternity.
How do I tell you how lonely I feel even with a contact list full of names?
People who would speak.
Yet I wait for just one thing,
A long...

Why Didn't You StayFar from the sea
I'm trying to set myself free
Tears flowing like a river
I have no idea when will it be over
You left in March, now it's almost May
Still, I'm asking myself why didn't you stay?
I can feel the heaviness in me like rain
My heart is clearly in vain
My nights felt so empty, I always cry
The...

The 23rd Song of DavidDavid had two wives, and I have none
Was he truly never in need and not of wants
Oh, how is this not a comical pun
Just to say that he was full of need and wants
Did YWHW give him, or did he earn?
Did he have a Shepard or a servant?
I feel that the imperfected get to have...

Empty tracks without youInspired by a love story
Empty tracks without you
By Michelle Morris
23/04/2025
I tried to get you out of my head
I tried to get you out of my heart
But there was no way out for me
I was in too deep from the start
And even when I tried to leave
The ghosts of us would hold me back
I feel...

Passive AggressivePlease don’t create all the drama
and then sit and ask why it’s there.
Say it’s okay but clearly it’s not
start in on the texting girl just stop.
It’s clear that you won’t just say it,
veracious words are absent here.
Either shoot straight or stay silent.
All I really want is a peaceful vibe.
Girl, I’m not...

An insecure manJealousy the sign of an insecure man
An emotion of which I am not proud
Hangs over me like an ugly dark cloud
I will control this; I know that I can
Nothing I can say will make you believe
My emotions took over Jealousy raged
An emotion that seems like a never-ending page
My heart is now broken that you...

Moments and Memories
Remembering all the wonderful days we spent
Looking for an extra dollar to purchase
a memory that you and I once lived
Memories are that of life, a treasure trove of pages blow upon the wind.....gathering all that was tossed aside when we were learning to live...
Enjoy each moment of life like a good book
Placed upon the shelve...

The Last StrokeThe smooth ink stains bleed a crimson red with each stroke
The pages' colors publish a perilous message against the black granite surface
Black, red, white
Its message is clear
It's time to stop writing...

Why I fell for youSilky black hair, eyes so blue.
I get goosebumps being with you
A smile that makes the room so bright
My dreams of you all through the night
The laughter that brightens up your face
Being with you my heart starts to race
The wings behind you on the wall
The angelic features that say it all
The charm and charisma soot...

A Pair Of HeartsMushy insides tend to harden up
if all your oxygen is stopped.
Allow yourself to fall, feel.
All your computations
are as dry as math.
It’s not a sum
when it’s a
pair of
hearts....

Gifts Of Life
Not awaken while living
To the silent breath flowing
To the mystery of hearing
To the wonder of seeing
Not awaken while living
To the divine weight of giving
To the hidden Hands us holding
To the heavenly call “Live with meaning”
Not awaken while living
To how fragile life is and fleeting
To how precious...

That GirlAm I that one girl,
the one with a seed,
that one with potential
to make it big?
Am I that girl
who's good but never great?
That one who would've made it
had the circumstances changed?
Am I that one who worked
too hard, only to hear
her hard work wasn't enough,
that others were simply better?
Am I that...
