T-Junction: Heartbreak and Betrayal – Poems Reflecting Life’s Cruel Realities

T-junction

The streets are merciless
The rider limped
My heart is broken
My blood is boiling

I am divorced
Because you can’t
I looked twice
Or maybe many times

Thanks to coincidence
I see his smile
Saying good morning
Then he left, looking reluctant to say hello again

Screaming

The classroom hall is narrow, full of euphoria
Sometimes they joke about love
Whether it is love because of mortal appearances
Or the love of a revealing wallet

Like the debris of unwanted humiliation
They move, float without number
It’s not happiness, in fact it’s disgust I feel
“Love is shameful”

Ah but I am trapped in his shadow
I thought about it, and did not, cheating!
I was annoyed, I hated the beetle
I’m confused, I’m disturbing the leech

Drift away

Chirping birds convey messages
He doesn’t like the main person he chose
Always move in the flying letters
A bare smile, insulted by the word

The leaves are falling, the wind is quiet
Clouds block the words in the heart
The reading room chose to ignore it
I am confused by time

James

The clock ticked in the quiet evening
Time is silent, truth stretches out
The sharp hands of the watch scratch the heart
In tears I showed everything

As funny as the king’s story
Harassed by a weaver in the middle of nowhere
It is said that only smart people can see the king’s royal clothes
In fact, it is a shame to be naked

My heart is still bitter
It tastes bitter even with an umbrella
A never-ending cycle of sadness
Falling into the chest to the end

He went home

The rain passed leaving a curtain of dew
The fever did not allow me to go through the campus intersection
The sun slipped through the dew
The leaves rustled gently

The sun was really coming up
The motorcycle is battered but still respectable
He stood in the doorway
When you carry notes in a book

The veranda became clear
Hope that came straight
The sun after the rain, my life is long
Can I float a little?

Roof

In the quiet room I closed my eyes
I can’t sleep, it hurts
The ceiling opens the screen, a story without words
Organize all love dioramas

This feeling still haunts me
Time reminds me of regret several times
Self-esteem begins to weaken
My emotions started to overflow

Under the roof, me and the shadow
Talk about uncertain expectations
My hand moves to the left
He picked up the mobile phone that had been waiting

The words slipped out of my head
I’ve lost my way, now I’m stuck
I said three words
Let the sun open your feelings

Morning Day

This morning the cold weather escaped
Mosquitoes are sleeping
You can’t smell the smell of jempiring
The cat’s coat looks like a bald patch

Ah yes, what was the answer yesterday?
I saw the name
One message
But it destroys the whole body

The fog of disappointment is too thick
It felt like sunlight was coming in through the crack
But my eyes did not escape
Let it burn later
