Landslide
1. I made him leave because sleeping next to someone that smells differently than you would be a nightmare in itself. 2. I'm more lonely every second you ignore me than I was every year I spent alone 3. I don't know which is worse, the death I've felt since you left or the death I wish I had before you had the chance to leave. 4. How am I supposed to move forward with my life when my future was supposed to be with you? 5. An hour shouldn't feel like a galaxy away. 6. I watched it eat away every beautiful piece of you. 7. You were a volcano and after your irruption I don't know where to begin rebuilding my city.

7 lines from poems I'll never write
You introduced me to parts of myself that depression buried long before I had the chance to meet them.

Nice to meet you
If he calls you pretty Cut him off You are far too exquisite for degrading words such as those If he says he is different Do not return his call Those words light a flame of false hope that burns down every wall you've built up If he does not try to understand Slam the door in his face You have no need for a coward

Scissors
You asked me why I traced the lines on your face, I couldn't bear to tell you that I wanted your skin to burn my fingertips until we met again. I found myself staring while you were sleeping, memorizing your every feature. 
I don’t want to forget even the tiniest freckle. I could paint every square inch of your room with utmost detail. I memorized it while you were dreaming of all the places you'd rather be, and I was awake from the horrors of the nightmare that is your departure. Maybe if I don't forget the view from my side of the bed, I'll be able to close my eyes and still imagine things haven't changed.
