You never know when it’s going to happen But when it does you have no idea what to do You’re falling down the steps of pain Though you don’t even have a clue
Oh why did this happen to you The thought keeps running through your head Thinking this might be a dream Yet you aren’t waking up in your bed
Your friends are the ones by your side When you are ready to talk But thinking they might turn on you You’d rather take a walk
Hoping it’ll get better Misty skies fill the air Screaming at the top of your lungs Wishing things would be fair
Turning on life itself will not do you any good Everyone thinks you’re just misunderstood Feelings as deep as hell itself And though you’re falling you aren’t reaching for help
Don’t turn away To look back again Don’t say goodbye Then act like nothing happened Don’t break my heart Stay apart Then return to say hello
[Chorus:] Hello, hello Can you hear me now It hurts me to be apart I’m walking away But it’s breaking my heart Hello, hello Can you hear me wow Hello, hello My heart’s screaming now
It breaks my heart When you talk to me So I try to stay apart And you still can’t see The pain you caused me Can you hear me
[Chorus:] Hello, hello Can you hear me now It hurts me to be apart I’m walking away But it’s breaking my heart Hello, hello Can you hear me wow Hello, hello My heart’s screaming now
My life disappears Bit by bit Everyday I’m throwing Some sorta fit You passed through my life At the blink of my eyes And once I opened them What a surprise
You were gone
[Chorus:] Hello, hello Can you hear me now It hurts me to be apart I’m walking away But it’s breaking my heart Hello, hello Can you hear me wow Hello, hello My heart’s screaming now
Note: I’m back! I wanted to say thank you to all of my readers, I didn’t make any posts in January but I continued to get traffic every single day:
I needed a break to figure out what I wanted to post next. I realized I only had 11 posts for 2005?! I discovered I have two full notebooks and countless loose leaf pages of writing for that year. Most of it is juvenile teenage angst, which is likely why I skipped it years ago. However, it was all a part of my journey as an author, so here’s age 12-13 for me!
Late as usual, but I am wrapping things up for another year I shared with you all! First off, a big shout-out to the readers who joined my poetic journey, witnessing an 11.31% increase from 283 to 315 followers in the last year.
To those new to my blog, welcome! I make it a tradition to provide an annual update, sharing not only a blog recap but also my year as a person. Feel free to explore my past updates and non-poetry-related posts in my “Personal” category.
Managing this blog for 8 years now, I’ve generated 513 posts. A sincere thank you to all the readers who have been a part of this journey:
Reflecting on my posts from the last year, after taking a break January-March, I shared content from 2003,2004,2011, 2024, and the first half of 2025. Here is what was most viewed in 2025:
