Repeat
1487 Mar 2014
I wanted to leave before I got left
I wanted to leave before I got left
I wanted to leave before I got left

         My God, why didn't I?
246 · Mar 2015
Needlessly need needed
1487 Mar 2015
I need to read words that hurt
(I need somewhere to put the pain)

My escape
1487 Mar 2014
I used to wake up anxious
now I have pills for that

I used to wake up and miss you
now I have pills for that too
they take away more than just my anxiety, love.

As nights go on
1487 Dec 2014
Some you still dream of,
some you do not.

I hope I see you.
I hope you see me, too.
to know I'm still in your dreams, though I'm out of your life, would be a privilege.

Where's your head at?
1487 May 2014
The worst part about words
is not that once they're said
you can't take them back;

But that you can't get them
out of
your head.
1487 Nov 2013
I was sitting at the bar
When I heard you can die of a broken heart
And I swear the sadness was so bad
That I felt my insides break in half
And I felt that I couldn't breathe
Which made me regret smoking any of these
And I thought, "this is what it is to die, even when you're still alive."
243 · Jul 2014
But you don't
1487 Jul 2014
Showing you my words
would be like showing you my weakness
would be like showing you I care
would be like you still do
1487 Aug 2014
How many times
can I shoot myself
with your gun
until I'm completely
dead?
over n over n over again

1487 Apr 2015
Idk
Where have you been? Where has your mind went? Where did it go, when you started to love him?

                       Who are you?
                       Do you know?
                       Do you know?

This isn't a poem
1487 Nov 2017
I have 124 screenshots of proof that you loved me.
239 · May 2014
You never told me why
1487 May 2014
The hardest part
is accepting that
you once loved me

and now
you don't.

I regret ever spending time crying over any of you and I hate writing this right now and I am so sorry I let myself be sad over someone who didn't deserve it and instead ignored that who I loved the most.
I had to put my cat to sleep today. I regret crying over them and not loving her.

Just because
1487 Dec 2013
"Just because he did that, don't think he doesn't love you"*

those were the right words
at the wrong time
because we both know
that's a lie
233 · Sep 2014
I don't want to write
1487 Sep 2014
I have let you ruin
6 seasons of my life
and I have written
more words about you
than I like

I have poems on here
from where we first
fell in love
to the day it died

Please, I don't need
more reminders -
I don't want to write

For the lonely
1487 Dec 2014
Loneliness may be horrible,
but at least it doesn't change
it's mind 6 months later.
I rather be alone.

You're not mine
1487 Nov 2013
Someone once asked me what were 3 of the saddest words that came to mind..

*"you're not mine"
1487 Oct 2014
I have so much poetry inside of me it's spilling from my veins. the last that I can recollect, you tied a noose around my neck and said "I wish you the best."
I dreamt this poem

You used to call me..

You used to call.

It doesn't feel right that everything was here before you were gone and that it remains after.

That the only life touched,
is mine.
I miss my cat.

You let me
1487 Mar 2014
In saving you,
I killed
myself.
227 · Mar 2014
F you
1487 Mar 2014
i have blisters in my ears
from picking and pretending
words i never got to hear
never seem to be ending

it's not that they never went in
but that they never got out
can you hear me?
can you hear them?

you know i've always had to shout
im so angry
226 · May 2014
Am I speaking foreign?
1487 May 2014
I keep telling
myself that he
don't love me

But why
can't I understand?
226 · Apr 2014
I hate you
1487 Apr 2014
I
remember
everything
you ever did to me
226 · Sep 2014
I bled anyways
1487 Sep 2014
You never liked
when I played with knives
"You might hurt yourself", you said

I understand now
that it wasn't romance -
you were just saving it
for yourself
instead.
225 · May 2014
This is not about you
1487 May 2014
It is not the buzzing and hissing in my ears throughout the day
Nipping at my heels
Spitting at my feet until I've trampled your name

This poem isn't about the boy who didn't want to stay
No, this is about the aftermath
The finding myself
The "where do I go?"
The "what do I do?"
The "we went fishing in that spot" but "made love in that one too"

I wish I had better words
An easier way to say,
"I am fine. I swear I am fine"
But "no, I'm not okay."

Pieces
1487 Sep 2017
How do you love
someone
in fragments?
223 · Mar 2014
And me
1487 Mar 2014
You left your memories behind again:
Change on the table
And my pillows, your scent
222 · Sep 2014
Today I woke up anew
1487 Sep 2014
I'm spending
my Friday night
on a couch
with Julia Child
reading 77 pages
of English Law

And I don't mind at all.
I don't mind at all :)
221 · Apr 2015
Finally
1487 Apr 2015
I have nothing left to say
and that,
to me,
is the saddest of all.

Promise me, just once,

that when I can't
breathe,
you will hold your
breath.

I'm my own Valentine
1487 Feb 2014
This is the first time
in 10 years
I haven't had a Valentine

I asked myself
to be mine

And, for once, it's okay
I'm doing just fine.
Happy Valentine's Day

The feel of her hand on your cheek

The feel of her hand in your hair

The feel of her hand on your chest

The feel of her hand on your skin

The feel of her hand:

home.

I wished that
you'd come back

Now that you did -

I can't believe

I wished

maybe you

But
you just

which hurts worse:

The
fact that you
don't;
or you
do?
my ex friend requested me tonight

I was your "baby"

Two weeks

I can't stop saying those words

Two weeks ago
I was your "baby"

And now, you're with her.
she will never... love you like I.

Wishful thinking
1487 Jul 2014
I hope one day,
not too far from now,
you will want to tell me hello

and,
without a second thought,
I will want to say goodbye.
