Wish wash
1487 Aug 2014
I wish I wasn't one of those people
who feels like they need love
to survive.

As if the only time I feel complete is when I'm giving another a piece of me.

How is that even possible -- to become whole when parts of you are missing?
Just thoughts.

Last night
1487 May 2014
You did not call me at 12:58,
2:28,
or 3:47 in the
morning.

And that's
when I realized,
you no longer
care.

Shot to the heart
1487 Nov 2014
Dang...

There ain't no words
for a hurt like that.
it takes my breath away
206 · Dec 2013
Think again
1487 Dec 2013
You once told me
that you thought you knew
what love was,
that you thought you loved her,
until you met me.

you must've thought again.

My own hands
1487 Jan 2014
i can't tell you
the amount of times
i fell in love
with the potential of a man

dying by love, with my owns hands.

Today
1487 Oct 2014
You used to love
when
I'd write about you

If you could
only
see me now
200 · Jan 2014
Yours
1487 Jan 2014
I cannot touch
my own skin
without remembering
how yours felt
on it

Letting go, again.
1487 Mar 2014
They say to let go when it hurts the most
When it's hardest to do
I don't know who "they" are
But, my love, they never knew you.
200 · Oct 2014
Since you been gone
1487 Oct 2014
I can smile,
I can breathe,

I can breathe.

you are not one of them

They don’t feel like you.

I want something else
1487 May 2014
All I ever am
is heartbroken and sick

Lord, there's got to be
more to life
than this.

Your drunken words
are my sober thoughts
1487 May 2014
You
found something else
to do with your nights

something
or *someone

Then
1487 Sep 2014
my god
it's been two years
and I can
still
see the look
on your face
when you
walked through
the door
that second
time.
I still miss you.

What a glorious feeling
1487 Sep 2014
I remember
every single time
I've ever let a man go

And the freedom
I felt
escape my bones
Nothing quite compares
188 · Jun 2014
Yes, it does.
1487 Jun 2014
How you treat me
says a lot about
the both of us

now doesn't it, my dear?
1487 Nov 2013
I was drunk so I told you I loved you
And you asked if I had anyone home
I wanted to say yes cause I didn't want to be alone
But I said no..

Because, frankly, no one is here. No one is ever here.

And I told you that.

But I also meant me.

The middle
1487 Nov 2020
How is it possible
that one can simultaneously
hold on
and
let go?
I feel both.

Throw a dog a bone
1487 Mar 2014
Please,
throw me anything,
any piece,
of you.

My heart
1487 May 2014
Sometimes I fall in love
with myself
Knowing that even though I
break it,
It still beats for
only me.
thank you

Just once
1487 Jun 2014
I hope one day you're sitting there, inside on your couch, anywhere;
and it hits you like a punch to the gut: that you remember what it felt like to be loved by me;
and I hope for one second you feel like running to your front porch to catch air. that anxiety sweeps over you and your fingers find your hair; that for one second you don't know what to do with your hands.
I want you to feel that. hold that. multiply that by ten.
feel it again, and again, and again.
you can't prepare. you can't repair.
it, still, will never compare.
I want you to know what it's like,
to love
something,
that isn't there.
I want you to feel like me
186 · Sep 2014
You were never
1487 Sep 2014
Everytime I said you were a good man,
I lied.
I lied.
I swear to god,
I lied.
185 · Mar 2014
Why
1487 Mar 2014
Why
did
I
have
to
love
you
so
*******
much?
184 · Mar 2014
Fill me
1487 Mar 2014
There is a space in my chest
where beautiful words
used to be
I feel empty
183 · Oct 2020
Moving on
1487 Oct 2020
The difference is mine is by force,
and yours is by choice.

182 · Apr 2014
Help
1487 Apr 2014
It takes
everything
in me
not to
love
*you
180 · Oct 2020
You just do.
1487 Oct 2020
Tell me, how does one go on?

Me (8w)
1487 May 2014
Do you even recognize
what you left behind?
me.
175 · May 2014
Why
1487 May 2014
Why
Why did you come back

More importantly,

Why did you decide

I wasn't good enough

again.
1487 Oct 2014
My heart
aches for you
tonight
you still don't love me
169 · May 2014
This isn't love
1487 May 2014
I am so tired
of being tangled
in you

someone, please,
slip me a match
burn me away
til I'm through
168 · May 2014
Please be wrong
1487 May 2014
The psychic told me
you were not coming back
I think I died that day.

I didn’t want it to be perfect,
I just wanted it to be with you.

This morning
1487 Sep 2014
Your memory
won't let me
out of bed.
162 · Dec 2018
You (my love)
1487 Dec 2018
My heart is a tomb,
waiting on your body to
come home.
159 · Sep 2014
I just can't
1487 Sep 2014
I need to read words
that shake my soul

I need to know
I'm still alive
153 · Jul 2014
To my heart
1487 Jul 2014
Please,
have mercy.
on me
151 · Apr 2014
Of this
1487 Apr 2014
And I am tired -
so tired,
of loving you in the light,
when you only want me in the dark.

All that we were has turned to bone,

and social media is the graveyard

of our

remains.
