[Intro]
Tears streamed like a broken waterfall.
As I packed my past into my bags, leaving a house that never felt like home.
A house with no pictures on the wall
where memories fail to form
and peace that can never be restored
a foreign land, like the Israelites in Egypt,
I was a stranger and did not belong.
[Verse 1]
I tread softly down the stairs,
So he wouldn’t hear me slip away.
Each step carries memories—
laughter, that once brought tears to my eyes,
now turned into tears of pain.
Joy that bloomed in my heart without reason,
ceased to come in the morning.
A love that once lived in action,
now lingers in words, void of significance.
[Verse 2]
Hand on the knob, one turn that will set us free
When the sorrowful voice rises behind me,
“Baby, don’t leave.”
I can’t meet his gaze because in their depth,
My pain would fade,
and I’d forget why I need to leave
and search for reasons to stay.
With a slow release of the door handle,
My packed bags crashed to the floor.
I walked towards him,
drifting further from the door.
[Bridge]
Our hearts shattering like glass
The sound filling the silence
If you want me to stay,
at least let me be honest.
My mouth opens, but the words crumble like dust before they can be heard.
How do I tell him?
How do I tell him that love isn’t enough?!
How do I make him listen?
How do I tell him that even in his arms,
even when we make love,
I feel distant?
As the Atlantic is from the Pacific,
two bodies of water that will never touch
[Verse 3]
That, he drains me like a battery
until there’s nothing left but the last spark.
But I won’t put it all on him.
I have also played my part.
Now it’s time to stop pretending,
to stop holding on when we’ve already fallen apart.
[Outro]
Before my thoughts could shape into words
his eyes found mine as if he already accepted what I couldn’t say
Then he gently let go of my hand
“Your silence speaks volumes, and I do understand.”
He grabbed my bags and tossed them aside,
insisting that I stay.
“Last time, you tried to leave,
But this time, I’m walking away.”
[Aftermath]
I stood frozen, watching him go,
His back turned to me like a closed door.
And now that he’s gone, the weight of reactance settles in
His absence pulls me closer.
I want him here,
but still…
I want us to rescind.
In My Mind
[Verse 1]
Raindrops dance upon the windowpane
While the trees sway gracefully
The lights are dimmed, and candles are lit.
The warm, sweet brown sugar scent caresses against my soft skin.
He looked me in the eyes and said, “You're the prize.”
How rare is that?
[Verse 2]
Large, strong hands begin to caress my back and gently follow where my body dips and rises again.
With a little pressure, just perfectly, and with no urgency
The warmth and coolness of his breath whispered down my spine, and each vertebra starts to quiver
A kiss lands softly on my collarbone from behind
My hand gently stroked his hair
While he murmurs in my ear
[Bridge]
I let my body melt into the cool silk sheets
As he gazes into the depths of my soul with his deep brown eyes
A silent understanding passes between us as if he can trace the shadow of my pain,
The scars of my past wounds, and the quiet storm of worries and doubts that linger within.
[The Build]
The rain grows louder. And so does my body.
A silent scream for more of what he gives.
The comfort of his security, the gentle patience,
And the unwavering safety that wraps around me like a warm blanket on a winter day.
His finger, delicate as a whisper, glides softly along my lips, tracing the curves with tender intent
I inhale deeply, exhale slowly
Absorbing the soothing scent of lavender and the sweetness that clings to his skin
A kiss falls from his lips, sweet as manna. Heaven sent.
A Taste that lingers, divine and pure.
His hands pressed to the headboard, fingers laced with mine.
Our pulses from our palms beat in time.
[The Reveal]
Slowly, the wind stilled, and the rain began to fade
The music transitions from a loud crescendo to a diminuendo, dissolving into silence.
The lights remain dim, and the candles still burn
But there wasn't any sign of him
Just me and my silky cool sheets.

Leeaza S. | Narrative Poet & Lyricist
I write cinematic, emotionally layered poetry rooted in love, faith, and becoming. My work explores the quiet shifts within us—the unseen moments that shape who we are—through rhythm, imagery, and honest storytelling. Each piece is meant to feel lived-in, intimate, and lasting… something you don’t just read, but carry with you.
