Looking back, you were an outlet for things I couldn't say
Even on a lost track, you kept collecting all the pain that wouldn't fade
Time wasn't even a factor, there when my 3.am-thoughts kept me awake
I didn't always feel better after the visits, somethings just can't decay
You were my source of self-belief and self-doubt
Harboring every thing I couldn't say loud, humble with it in pride
Opening you up to open myself up to you, an opener's opening
You might be the reason why comfort in my own world sounded inviting
In your world, with me writing, with the moods striking
Scared of being wrong, failing in doing the right things
Emotions, loud and clear, like thunder and lightning
Emotions, sad and cryptic, ballad you're forced to watch and get stuck in
With you, we never cared if anyone liked us
We had each other from the mornings till when the moon comes on
Even when love came, you knew before I put the song on
So we've really been through both thistle and thorns
Being away from you makes me feel exposed
Almost like now I am forced to have these conversations
And the need to now express myself and how I really feel
I still come back to you for a deviation, some would say it's not standard
I made a lot of mistakes, rich in a currency called trauma
You helped me pour it out, without warning, downpour in the summer
You tried to convince me it wasn't my fault, protected me while i cowered
Dark room, mix of Mansion, Manual, spiced by Room 501 for my supper
A truth, unrevealed
A bread, unleavened
An album , unreleased
A notepad, untamed
When I was told I seem to have a habit of sabotaging friendships
I negated and believed it words of a fable teller
But now, a David without a Jonathan,Paul with no Silas
I wonder if it because you are occupying the seat at that price.

Lots of emotion and cathartic!!!❤️❤️💕
Ah, the memories. Gosh, it's been so long since I wrote down my feelings in a notebook (and I have so many of them that are just mostly empty nowadays). I usually just do it in a work document on Google Drive now. Wonderful work here.
It is very important to write our feelings down. Well done!!
Interesting poem… journals can be so helpful. Great friendships mentioned in conclusion ✅.
Loved this! Reminds me of how one pours all their thoughts onto paper and how important it is to write our feelings down.
Congrats 🎈🎉🍾🎊 on top story
Painful truth in there💜
A lot of intense truth here, well written. It’s hard not to make journals the repository of our emotions when humans can be so capricious
Love this . Great work.
