Still Waters

by Han

My lover is so brave, Oh he is so brave Not in the way they praise in stories, But brave enough to always choose himself He has the courage to withhold, To measure out his care To remind me so easily, Exactly where I stand And I, on the other hand, Perfect the art of pretending I blur what I can clearly see, I soften truths that do not soften me I look away from the distance between, How I am loved and how I long to be loved, It’s not that he is cruel It’s just that on certain days, Our differences speak louder than our love So here I am, calling myself a coward, Because I cannot do what he does so well Walk away untouched, Choose myself without hesitation, For I am not as brave as my lover

Poem No. 01

Ember Light

by Your Friend's Name

We are made of fading things —

the last hour of amber sky,

a match struck in a dark room

for nothing but the light of it.

Burn slowly, beloved.

The night is long enough.

Poem No. 02

Salt & Distance

by Your Friend's Name

The sea does not mourn

what it gives back to the shore.

I am learning that from it —

to release without grief,

to let the tide decide

what was mine to keep.

Poem No. 03

Old Gold

by Your Friend's Name

There is gold in old things —

in the worn spine of a book,

in a voice remembering a name

it thought it had forgotten.

Time does not erase.

It gilts.
