Welcome to Archive Poetry Pages, a quiet corner for my 2AM poetry, the ones I never finished.
Half-thoughts. Ghost lines. Lost rhymes. Maybe you'll help me finish them, maybe you'll just read and relate.

This is not a place for perfection. It's a place for honesty.
Scribble something down. Say what’s on your mind. All I ask is that you speak with kindness. 💬

Some days I feel like a postscript, Barely noticed, barely missed… Tagged on after thoughts have gone, Echoing when the moment’s done. I keep hoping someone will read me twice.

I told the moon about you, But she kept my secrets too well… Now even the stars feel distant, And night no longer listens. Maybe some things aren’t meant to echo back.

The last time I cried in public, Was the first time I didn’t care who saw… Tears fell like they had a right to, As if my sorrow signed a permission slip. And no one stopped me, maybe that’s what I needed

I wrote this while staring at a ceiling full of cracks,
Like the pieces of me I never got to put back.
I don’t know where this poem ends,
Or if it ever truly began.

But the silence… oh, it still rhymes,
Whispering secrets through fractured times.
Each crack a story I hide away,
In shadows where my fears still stay.
They couldn’t handle the fire 🔥so I dimmed the lights. Comments are hidden from others, but I still read them all. Every Word 💌
This one came to me between blinking lights,
In the hush between goodbyes and sleepless nights.
I didn’t edit or erase or plan,
I just wrote down the truth as fast as I can.

Maybe it’s messy, maybe it’s raw,
But pain never asked for a single applause.
So read it slow, or not at all,
These lines were never scared to fall.
They couldn’t handle the fire 🔥so I dimmed the lights. Comments are hidden from others, but I still read them all. Every Word.. 💌
