To the ones who loved too quietly,
Who waited on maybes,
Who bled through poems
and smiled through pain-
This book is for you.

🩸 1. Paper Cutsby (Author)I trusted words, so soft, so kind,But paper cuts are hard to find.They bleed in silence, sting with grace,And leave no scar upon the face.Each "I'm fine" was a tiny slice,Each hug you gave came with a price.Now I don't read your words the same,Some love just hides behind a name.
🕸️ 2. Tangled in Usby (Author)We wove a web with thread too thin,Too scared to lose, too proud to win.You pulled, I stayed. I pulled, you fell,A love that tangled into hell.No spider spun it, we both did,With secrets shared and truths we hid.Now every step pulls tight, not free,We're tied in knots we'll never see.
🧃 3. Bittersweetby (Author)You tasted like a summer lie,Sweet on lips, but meant goodbye.You held me soft, then slipped away.Like sun that tricks the end of day.I sipped your words like sugared tea,Too warm, too good, not meant for me.And though it burned when you let go,I'd drink again. I'd still not know.
🕳️ 4. Hollow Placesby (Author)I smiled in rooms that felt too loud,My soul a ghost beneath the crowd.You asked me, "How's your heart today?"I laughed, then looked the other way.There's not a crack you'd see or trace,Just hollow dreams and empty space.But hollow things still echo deep,And some of us don't even weep.

💎 6. Sharp Things
by Sareena (Author)
I hold my words like broken glass,
Each thought a blade I let slip past.
They told me strength was being sweet,
So I bled in silence at their feet.
But glass reflects what lies inside,
A girl too bruised, too scared to hide.
So now I throw instead of bend,
And cut with truth I used to mend.
Don't tell me sharp is wrong to be.
The world carved edges into me.
🧨 7. The Girl Who Set Fire
by Sareena (Author)
She walked in rooms like sparks in wind,
Not caring how or where flames begin.
She burned the scripts they wrote in stone,
Made ashes out of every tone.
They called her wild, too hard to tame,
She smiled and danced inside the flame.
She wasn't cruel, but she was done
Being the candle for everyone.
Now every match she lights, she owns,
And builds her castle out of bones.
🌫️ 8. Things I'll Never Say
by Sareena (Author)
I love you in all the quiet ways,
The glance, the pause, the sideways gaze.
You'll never hear it from my mouth,
But feel it when I'm not around.
In folded notes I'll never send,
In songs I skip, in poems I bend.
I love you in the safest form,
Unspoken, still, and far from warm.
Because words are wings that fly away,
And I'd rather love you here…
than watch it drift another day.""
🌙 9. Moonlit Lies
by Sareena (Author)
You said I was your northern light,
A guiding star in endless night.
But stars don't lie, they burn, they fall,
And you were never light at all.
You whispered truths you never meant,
And left me glowing, then you went.
I stitched your words into my skin,
Believed the love you never meant.
I shine, but not for you tonight,
This glow is mine. I own my light.
🪞 10. Mirror Girl
by Sareena (Author)
I smiled so you wouldn't ask what's wrong,
Played the part, stayed sweet, stayed strong.
But glass can't lie when tears still smear,
She's crying too, the girl in here.
They see my mask and call it grace,
But never look past the painted face.
The mirror knows what I became,
A shadow trapped in someone's name.
If I break free, if I break through,
Will anyone recognize me too?
🖤 11. Love Like Bruises
by Sareena (Author)
Your love was soft, like velvet ropes,
Tied in promises, wrapped in hopes.
But soft can hurt when it won't let go,
When silence screams, and you still say no.
I stayed in rooms where love felt cold,
Because bruises don't show when you're told,
That pain is proof and tears are weak,
That soft is safe, and rage can't speak.
But I know now what I deserved,
Not ropes, not chains, not love that hurts.
🧣 12. The Quiet Goodbye
by Sareena (Author)
No doors were slammed, no voices raised,
Just silence stretched in empty praise.
I watched you drift like smoke, like breeze,
A fading hand, a slow disease.
You left in ways no one could see,
One missing glance, then none for me.
And though you stayed, I knew inside,
Your love had packed, your soul had died.
So I just smiled, and let it slide,
Because some goodbyes don't say goodbye.
🕊️ 13. Left Unread
by Sareena (Author)
You saw the message, left it blue,
Not just the text, but me, all through.
I spilled my soul in lowercase,
And you replied with empty space.
It's cruel, the way you disappear,
Yet stay so close, so insincere.
You read my heart like it was spam,
Then scrolled away from who I am.
But silence speaks, and now I see,
You never really wanted me.
🌪️ 14. Storm Girl
by Sareena (Author)
They told her not to raise her voice,
That quiet girls make better choice.
So she held back her every scream,
And cried in corners, stitched a dream.
But thunder grows where silence breaks,
And gentle girls still cause earthquakes.
Now every storm inside her chest
Comes roaring out—she won't suppress.
They called her ruin, loud, unwise,
But storms don't beg to clear the skies.
🧩 15. Half-Loved
by Sareena (Author)
You gave me half of what I gave,
A shallow kiss, a borrowed wave.
You held me close when nights were long,
But daylight proved I read it wrong.
I wasn't love—I was escape,
A maybe heart you tried to shape.
You carved my worth in your regret,
And made a love I can't forget.
I wanted whole, you gave me part,
A broken map, a borrowed heart.
🌒 16. What the Moon Knows
by Sareena (Author)
The moon has seen me fall apart,
Bleeding thoughts straight from my heart.
She knows the truth behind my grin,
The wars I lose but fight within.
She watched me beg with silent eyes,
As love turned cold and hope wore lies.
Each night I speak, though none reply,
Except the stars, who never lie.
So if I vanish, fade, or go.,
Ask the moon. She'll tell you so.
🧷 17. Fragile Girl
by Sareena (Author)
They called her fragile, glass and thread,
A doll too soft, too easily led.
But fragile means she still survived,
With broken parts that stayed alive.
She stitched her skin with quiet rage,
A warrior trapped inside a cage.
They saw her cracks and called them flaws,
Not knowing glass still cuts with claws.
So call her weak, but look again,
Even roses bloom in pain.
🖋️ 18. Ink-Stained Heart
by Sareena (Author)
I wrote you into every line,
A name that blurred with every rhyme.
My poems bled the way I did,
From wounds you left, from truths I hid.
But ink forgets what fingers feel,
And paper can't make heartbreak real.
So I burned the pages, one by one,
To mourn a love that came undone.
You were a verse I can't erase,
But I'll stop writing you into place.
🍂 19. Autumn of Us
by Sareena (Author)
We started like the summer heat,
But ended cold beneath our feet.
You fell like leaves without a sound,
And I just watched you hit the ground.
No storm, no fight, no screaming fits,
Just empty glances, quiet splits.
They say some loves just lose their spark,
But ours went out without the dark.
Now every breeze reminds me still,
You loved me once... and then you didn't.
💤 20. The Night You Left
by Sareena (Author)
You didn't slam the door that night,
Just took your shadow with the light.
You left a room, but stayed in air,
Like perfume, grief, or whispered prayer.
I laid in beds you never missed,
Still aching from a ghostly kiss.
You didn't break me loud or fast,
You vanished slow, like love that passed.
And silence sang a lullaby,
Of all the ways you said goodbye.
🎭 21. Smile for the Crowd
by Sareena (Author)
I laugh in rooms where no one sees
The weight I drag behind my knees.
I play the part, I wear the grin,
A perfect mask, with cracks within.
Applause is loud but love is rare,
And no one asks if I'm still there.
They cheer the show, not what it cost,
The girl they clapped for, she is lost.
But I'll bow low, like I belong,
Even when everything feels wrong.
🪶 22. Soft Doesn't Mean Weak
by Sareena (Author)
She cries and still holds steady hands,
She breaks and still somehow she stands.
They think her softness makes her less,
But never watched her clean the mess.
She bends but never splits in two,
She carries pain the way skies do.
So call her weak, then watch her rise,
With silent strength behind her eyes.
She's soft, yes, like velvet flame.
But don't forget, she came, she came.
🪦 23. Graveyard of Almosts
by Sareena (Author)
I buried all our almosts deep,
The plans, the laughs, the nights I weep.
We never bloomed, but roots were set,
In soil of maybes, full of debt.
Each "what if" carves a stone of loss,
A headstone marked with what it cost.
You weren't a love I got to keep,
Just ghosts I visit in my sleep.
And still, I water empty ground,
Hoping maybe you'll come around.
🩶 24. Second Place
by Sareena (Author)
I knew I wasn't first for you,
A name you wore when nothing's new.
You held me close, but not too tight,
Your heart was hers, just out of sight.
I stayed because I thought you'd see
That I could be your only "we."
But even stars can't change the sky
When love's a glance and not the why.
So I let go of chasing gold,
Second place is still too cold.
🫀 25. Anatomy of Goodbye
by Sareena (Author)
Your hands let go before your words,
Your love decayed in silent thirds.
First went the calls, then laughter died,
Then you forgot I ever tried.
I mapped the moment we decayed
Your heartbeat's shift, the light that strayed.
And though you never said the phrase,
I read it clear in empty days.
Goodbye was slow, but still it came,
A quiet death without a name.
🕰️ 26. Out of Time
by Sareena (Author)
You said, "Someday, we'll make it right,"
But someday never saw the light.
You spoke in future, lived in past,
And left me waiting far too fast.
Time ran like water through your hand,
Yet I stayed still, too scared to stand.
We ran in circles, chased the clock,
But love can't grow behind a lock.
Now time is up, the hands don't move,
And I'm the one with more to prove.
🥀 27. Almost Beautiful
by Sareena (Author)
You almost loved me, that I know,
In fleeting looks, in winter snow.
You almost stayed, and meant to try,
You almost caught each falling cry.
You almost chose me every time,
But almost isn't love.it's crime.
It tempts, it teases, then it breaks,
And leaves you drowning in the lakes.
You almost held my shattered soul,
But "almost" never made me whole.
🧊 28. Cold Hands, Warm Lies
by Sareena (Author)
Your hands were cold but words were sweet,
A cruel contrast I couldn't beat.
You touched me like I'd disappear,
And spoke like I was always near.
But sugar burns when truth is gone,
And warmth fades fast when held too long.
You smiled with lips that knew goodbye,
And kissed me under cloudless sky.
I learned too late what lies can do,
They freeze the love that once felt true.
🔗 29. Chained in Memory
by Sareena (Author)
I broke the locks, but not the chain,
Your name still echoing in pain.
I changed my hair, I moved my place,
But memories still know my face.
You linger where my silence grows,
In coffee sips and winter clothes.
And though you're gone, I still reside
Inside the version that once died.
They say I'm free, but I still feel,
That chains can haunt you once they heal.
🫧 30. Clear and Hollow
by Sareena (Author)
I gave you all, transparent, true,
A glass heart built just for you.
But you looked through and not within,
Saw all I was, but where I'd been.
You praised the shine, ignored the crack,
Took what you liked and gave it back.
Now I reflect a colder hue,
No longer soft, no longer new.
I used to be so full of light,
Now I'm just hollow, clean, and white.
🧤 31. Worn Out Love
by Sareena (Author)
Your love fit once, like winter gloves,
It held me right, like softened shoves.
But seasons changed, your warmth wore thin,
And I no longer fit your skin.
You pulled away in tiny threads,
Left me to warm my own cold beds.
Love doesn't shrink with every tear,
It should grow strong year after year.
But we outgrew what once felt true,
And I outloved the lesser you.
🫥 32. Invisible Girl
by Sareena (Author)
I sat beside, not in your sight,
A whisper lost in louder night.
You saw the world, but not my face,
I took up time, but not your space.
I danced in corners just for you,
But shadows don't get credit too.
I wrote my name in stars and skies,
But still you missed the truest prize.
Now I step out from what you see,
And learn to love invisible me.
🌹 33. Love in Parentheses
by Sareena (Author)
You never said it out aloud,
Just left it floating in a crowd.
A glance, a breath, a pause too long,
A quiet hum in someone's song.
I held the words you meant to say,
Like footnotes hidden in the day.
Our love lived small, between the lines,
In whispered thoughts and subtle signs.
I learned to read the things unsaid,
A love in brackets, softly fed.
🧊 34. You Touched Me Cold
by Sareena (Author)
Your hands were soft, but not sincere,
A comfort soaked in quiet fear.
You kissed me like I might dissolve,
A mystery you wouldn't solve.
You said you cared, your eyes said less,
And love should never feel like guess.
I stayed because your lies were sweet,
Like frost that kissed a summer street.
Now I don't melt for pretty lies,
I burn through cold in warm disguise.
🧵 35. Threaded Together
by Sareena (Author)
You pulled the thread, I didn't fight,
Unraveled gently every night.
Yet somehow, even torn apart,
I felt your fingers in my heart.
We frayed, we stretched, we came undone,
But still you thread through everyone.
I try to stitch myself anew,
But every seam still ends in you.
Some love is thread, too tight, too thin,
And yet, we sew ourselves back in.
🫖 36. Love in Quiet Cups
by Sareena (Author)
We never danced in public scenes,
No candlelight or movie screens.
But still I knew, in tea you made,
In "call me when the noise has stayed."
You loved me slow, like winters do,
With quiet hands and skies so blue.
No fireworks, no stage, no scream,
Just tender touches in a dream.
Not every love is loud or grand,
Sometimes it's just a steady hand.
📻 37. Static Between Us
by Sareena (Author)
You tuned me in, then changed the sound,
A frequency that's never found.
I spoke in songs you never knew,
You hummed to beats I couldn't do.
Still we stayed on that same wave,
Trapped inside the noise we gave.
We loved in glitch, in pause, in static,
A melody both sweet and tragic.
Some lovers dance, some disappear,
But we just faded, ear to ear.
📓 38. Scribbled in You
by Sareena (Author)
I wrote your name on every page,
Like teenage hearts in silent rage.
I circled thoughts you never saw,
And inked your laugh in every flaw.
You never read what I became,
A poet ruined by your name.
But still I write, still let it spill,
This love that echoes even still.
Because some hearts, once touched, don't fade,
They live in poems we never made.
🌌 39. Galaxies Between Us
by Sareena (Author)
You were the sky, I was the sea,
Still reaching where we'd never be.
I sent you stars, you blinked and left,
A galaxy in love, bereft.
They said, "You can't love what's too far,"
But you were always in my star.
We spun in space we couldn't cross,
A cosmic tale of gain and loss.
I loved you light-years past your stay,
But some stars burn, then drift away.
🔒 40. Locked in Me
by Sareena (Author)
You never left, you never stayed,
You lived in corners I had made.
I locked you deep, but not with hate,
With hope that you'd still test the gate.
I smile and laugh, I live and grow,
But love like this won't let you go.
You're not my now, not quite my past,
But still, you're where my heart beats last.
Some loves don't need a key or plea,
They just remain, locked silently.
