Wrong Choice

I fear I'm making the wrong choice,
A future regret I cannot voice.

My heart and soul beg for me to stay,
Yet my mind urges me to flee away.

You and I could have been perfect together,
Our souls destined to intertwine forever.

But the illusion that surrounds you,
Fills me with a fear I can't undo.

If I gave you my all, my world,
You'd pass it to another, attention unfurled.

I'm sorry I withdrew before we could bloom,
Hoping our paths will cross again soon.

To relive the memories we once shared,
And find happiness in the moments repaired.

I apologize for retreating so soon,
Afraid of losing myself to rejection's tune.

The Retreat

In this cruel and dark world, our souls intertwined,
Your soul's brightness guided me, our paths aligned.

Our meeting holds a purpose, I believe,
Yet I must retreat, for my mind's reprieve.

The illusion of what we could become,
Threatens to consume, to leave me undone.

But this retreat takes its toll, piece by piece,
For your soul's warmth brings my cold soul peace.

My heart and soul plead for me to stay,
To lose myself in the illusion's sway.

Yet my mind cautions, warns of past mistakes,
Urging me to retreat before history retakes.

How can I withdraw from your captivating light,
When you've become the warmth I crave, day and night?

But today, I gaze upon our pictures, memories dear,
I smile, thanking the sky for your warmth I've felt near.

Yet I must retreat, safeguard the happiness I've found,
Preserve it before it fades, before it's unbound.

The Day You Left

As you start to close your eyes one final time, the world turned to darkness,
The sky wept tears, as you took your last breath.

The little happiness I once held dear,
With the news I received, it disappeared.

The trust I placed in that divine presence,
Now twisted into feelings of anger and resentment.

Unspoken words lingered in the air,
Silent goodbyes filled with despair.

Why was it her and not me,
She was the beacon, the light I longed to see.

The day you departed, my world was consumed,
By darkness so profound, it left me entombed

Right person At the Wrong time

I wonder if destiny brought us Together,
Or if my luck has finally turned
All I know is I'm still numb inside,
But your touch is starting to ignite a flame.

I can't name this feeling yet,
But they say it's what happiness feels like.
Are you the right person at the wrong time
Or were we both lost and found each other in the Cruel world?

Maybe we're two wandering souls,
Brought together by the universe's hand.
Or maybe we're just two broken pieces,
Trying to fit together and heal each other's scars.

Whatever the answer may be,
I'm grateful for this moment in time.
For the warmth you bring to my cold heart,
And the light you shed on my darkest of nights.

Are you the one

Are you the one, 
Or will you be another painful lesson to learn?
I fear being destroyed by your rejection,
But I can't resist the pull of the mystery you hold.

Are you my sweet dream come to life,
Or a recurring nightmare that haunts me at night?
Lost in the maze of your alluring Blue eyes,
I find myself entranced yet afraid to take flight.

Illusion

Am I chasing an illusion, or is this real?
A dream that could come true, or is it just a lie I tell myself?

Lost in the vastness of your blue eyes,
I'm entranced by the mystery they hold
.
Your story intrigues me, your past surprises me,
And your goals inspire me to become a better version of myself.

But in the midst of this fascination,
I wonder if I'm in for a dream or a nightmare.

Either way, I'm drawn to you,
Enchanted by the allure of what could be.

Endless Ocean

Your blue eyes are an endless ocean,
Deep and mysterious, waiting to be explored.
I set sail without a map, guided only
By the compass of my heart's desire.

And what is that desire? To conquer
Not lands or riches, but something unconquerable
Your heart, the prize for which I set sail the day we meet
Drawn by the gentle light of the full moon

The wind may blow me off course,
The waves may toss me to and fro,
But nothing can deter my quest
To conquer the shores of your love.

So onward I sail, into the vastness of your blue eyes.
With courage as my compass and hope as my guide.
Though the journey may be treacherous, and I may get lost,
Conquering your love is worth every mile

My Story

Welcome to Root Of Poetry! My name is Alexander Zabalza, and I’ve been writing poetry since I was 10 years old. Most of the poems I wrote back then are gone with time, but to be honest, they were probably just thoughts of a broken kid who didn’t know how to write poems. However, writing was the only thing that helped me express my feelings.

Darkness

I meet you in my darkest times
You were my light at the end of the tunnel 
But you are the pain that destroys my reality 

You're the smile I showed every day 
To hide my reality 
It painful to smile in this darkness

When I'm the one who kept me locked
Holding me back from becoming that person 
I'm sorry, im just dead inside

Alcoholic

I become an alcoholic 
Looking for happiness in every bottle 
The pain was fading away with every shot I took
But I did not understand my logic 

How will a bottle help me with my pain 
I will still have it after the effects wear off 
But the bottle is my friend, the only one who understands me 
So I because an alcoholic because of my pain
