Hmm... ♡

you’re so considerate
of my limitations
and shortcomings
that I don’t
know what
to say.

I want you to know
how much I adore you
you’re simply wonderful.
and if there ever comes a day
where we must part ways,
don’t forget this:

you’re a lovely human being,
and any person lucky enough
to be your significant other
better treat you with the
amount of love and respect
you give to me every day.

because darling,
there’s no one better
than you.

hello.

hello, she said
a little glancing smile
shimmering in my direction
as if it would be my saving grace.

hello, she said
touching little facets in my mind
the only place I’ve known
for the past two-and-a-half years

hello, I say
flinching from the harshness of my voice
as it breaks the silence into
a million little stars.

hello, hello.
fireflies in a jar
hummingbirds and roses
regret and desire.

hello.
I wish we had never met, my man.
you took my life and shook it clean
leaving just little remnants

of a fading, dying young love.

“But I’m thinking of what Sarah said, that
‘Love is watching someone die.’”

Do I want to die alone?
Do I want to die?
Do I want to?
Do I want
Do I
Do

What is love, what is love?
Watched the breath leave,
Felt the heart stop its beat.
Please tell me it’s not love.

Oh, no.
Not love, no.
No. No. No.
Please.
God?
Mom,
God, I-
Mother, what-
“Home sweet home”

‘Baby please don’t cry.’
Oh darling, it’s too much for me.
She’s not here to wipe away my tears
She’s not here to cuddle and rock and croon
She’s not, but I know you are. I’ll try to stay for you.

Months bleeding into the pavement
Spreading out slowly like a stain against my soul

Hello I am pretending
Hello I am
hello?

[darling no please don’t speak]
[I don’t want to be the one, no]
[please I swear I-]
[please I swear]
[please]

BROKEN//GONE=YOUR MIND
BROKEN—— NO!
I AM NOT BROKEN
DO YOU HEAR ME
I AM ME I AM ME I-

i’m not broken don’t you see
all i did was lose an integral
part of me

but she’s here
he told me, she’s
here
in my heart. right here.
he touched me
right here, he said.
right. here.

so the tears came, right
the wet and the breath
then i could breathe
and i was alright
i was okay
I was ok
i was
me.

I didn’t want to face this.
I kept trying to run from it, see
But the thing no one seems to get is that I
I broke myself the other night

And you’ve got to understand something, my dear
You’d only blame yourself if I told you
The reason I lost trust in you myself
Is because I caused you to leave

And though you came back to me
The act of you going
Broke that little vial in my heart
And caused my hope to drain away.

And when I tried to put it all back
My mind rebelled and told me
If you could leave me now,
Nothing can stop you from leaving again.
