It’s not just an incomplete chapter,
Not simply a tale without end—
It’s the ache of a silence that lingers,
The longing that time doesn’t mend.
I wrote it from a place of love,
With ink made of hope and fire,
But somewhere, the pen turned brittle—
Snapped beneath unseen desire.
The plot never followed a path,
No hero, no arc, no resolve—
Just memories pressed between pages,
Too heavy for me to evolve.
So now I stand with the match in hand,
Not in rage, but in release—
Letting go not out of fury,
But in search of quiet peace.
Each flame a whispered farewell
To the versions of me I outgrew,
A requiem sung in embers
For the things I once thought true.
This isn’t the end of a story,
It’s the start of something untold—
Sometimes, the truest freedom
Is setting the story cold.
“I wrote it from a place of love”
yea i think this line was written w whatever’s left undamaged in this heart 😭 ✨
“Sometimes, the truest freedom
Is setting the story cold”
ugh this is perfection for a closure— i’m dying 👏
My favourite part starts from
"So now I stand with the match in hand"
ah ah i see
Yosh yosh
:DD
How's the idea and title 💀
I work in title idea more than actuall poetry sometimes
hmm
title feels a bit generic or stiff
i think
title could be a little better like “from pages that were burnt”
or something else
Next I will write song lyrics
the burnt book feels a little stiff for me
but if you like it, don’t take my words into account at all
I wanted to burn whole book myself
🌚
😭 😭
brother are you okay
Ahem
Yes? 😭
😭
yk i ain’t buying that
Buying what..
like i ain’t believing the “yes?”
🕺🏻💃🏻
and here we go again
Haha
