by Jay-Ar Fortunado We shared a secret, just you and me, Like a small whisper under a big tree. I thought all was safe, a friendship true, But the secret is revealed, what can we do? My heart is sad, like a sunken sea, Because the promise, disappeared, you see? Trust takes a while, like building a sandcastle tall, But it can break fast, with just one small fall. I wish I didn't tell you my secret So that I won't feel like I'm being cheated I can't understand this feeling It's like my heart is aching We can still be friends, that's what I believe, But next time a secret, we'll work to retrieve The trust that was lost, like a kite in the breeze, And build it up stronger, with honesty, please. Genre: Free verse and Confessional Poetry Theme: sad, forgiveness, and rebuilding trust.

Genre: Confessional Poetry Theme/s: Anxiety of being left unnoticed

I always thought my life is dull, and all black and white, but you give color to it. I thought I was always a failure, not until you saw the best in me. Ever since we met, I’ve been so happy, I feel seen and appreciated. But of course, again, life is not all rainbows and unicorns. We can’t be happy all the time. I was torn between choosing you and the life they chose for me. I couldn’t disobey them. They’ve planned it from the start. They said it was the best for me. I chose them, Afterall, they are my family. I left you hanging, without saying anything. Years had passed, I saw you again. You are laughing with your friends, but you are not the same as before. You are laughing but you look caged. Your smile doesn’t reach your eyes anymore. When you give colors to my life, I stole away yours. When I ...
