I love him
I tell myself
I know that
We will be together forever
I don’t believe that
We could be separated
My thoughts tell me that
He’s the love of my life
Sometimes my heart lies and says
I could live an eternity
Without him
Like my friends say
“We’re perfect for each other”
And you can’t tell me
He’s not the one.

Now read from bottom to top.

i always have
the urge to run.

but what is it like
to be a tree?

to be confident enough
to root yourself
and grow with
wild abandonment,
being unapologetically
you?

i'm still running,
but i wish i knew.

Red
fog
white mist fills my head
veins pump it into each cavity i hold
I am light yet heavy
floating at the bottom of the ocean
my body raw and naked
repulsing only myself

grief holds me to that hopeless sand
sinful stomach permanently lurching
the rocks of regret reside there
yesterdays poison long soaked into my soul

glasses of liquid brown
pills to dissolve my frown
boulders of remorse
surrounded by my greedy belly

an open wound to you a nosebleed
sharp thoughts now empty grog
pinned permanently to that oppressive seaweed
victim am I to the sea of fog

you told me
“I promise I won’t ever hurt you”
we were laying in my bed
I looked at you
in your deep brown eyes
and convinced myself you wouldn’t
now I’m laying in the same place
as my brown eyes fill with tears
convincing myself that my heart might never heal
all because of one broken promise
