Dear, my closest one

Date: 4/21/2026

My heart is now growing

----------

So I lie to myself

Dear, my dearest one

Saying you're a threat in my life.

My heart is now blooming

But my heart disagrees as it cries.

So I make a lie to myself

Being obedient felt like a crime.

Saying that you're a danger in My life.

But heart disapprove as it cries.

obedient was like a crime.

have a mine of your own.

Have your own mind.

Yet my voice is owned by the others

Yet my voice is controlled by others

I can't lie.

I'm still obedient in my prime.

I'm still obedient in my best years.

So, just it from my eyes.

So, just see it from my eyes.

I don't mind breaking my heart.

It's not the first time.

I don't mind falling asleep.

To avoid every single time.

To avoid every single moment.

So, I shall sleep.

So, I will sleep.

As Ignore it all within me.

As I ignore everything inside me.

I expected nothing less anyway.

I expected nothing more anyway.

Just like me I fade away.

Just like me, I fade away.

My heart must hate you

Or fear you so I can erase.

The fact you got in that place.

I give my soul just for it break.

I give my soul just to break it.

That was my biggest mistake.

I'll break up the heart.

I'll break the heart.

As you only shattered it

And I'll make it bleed hard.

Burning it to flames.

Burning it to ashes.

So, it feel that way

So, it feels that way

For you or anybody.

For you or anyone.

But some parts just won't change.

So, I'll just except my fate.

So, I'll just accept my fate.

I bloomed so a broken crate.

I bloomed like a broken container.

Explanation

This poem by Miya Mallard explores the complex emotions associated with love and heartbreak. The speaker addresses their 'dearest one,' expressing a sense of internal conflict and emotional turmoil. The heart is described as 'blooming,' indicating growth or awakening, yet the speaker lies to themselves about the beloved being a danger. This reflects the struggle between the mind's rationalizations and the heart's true feelings. The poem delves into themes of obedience and control, suggesting that the speaker's voice and actions are influenced by others, yet they remain true to their feelings. The recurring motif of breaking the heart symbolizes repeated emotional pain, while the desire to 'erase' the beloved from the heart signifies an attempt to heal or move on. Despite these efforts, the speaker acknowledges that some parts of their emotions remain unchanged, accepting their fate. The imagery of burning and bleeding conveys intense emotional suffering, while the final line suggests a sense of resignation and acceptance of one's broken state.
