Do the stars get tired?
Is that why they implode?
Tired of being admired?
Too far to hold
Am I your star?
Or am I your home?
Unreachable
Or safe and warm
I don't want to be window shopped
A pretty thing not to take home
I want to be held close to your heart
Like your great grandmother's quilt
Am I enough to be better?
Or a goal you never work towards?
Do you care enough to explore?
Or are you trying to skip forward?
So tell me honestly,
Am I a dream you visit?
Or somewhere
You would actually live?

The emptiness closes in
Chokes my breath out of my chest
And presses on my skin
A heaviness in the air I can't..
I can't breathe in

I miss falling in love
I miss greeting each morning with you
and saying goodnight together
I miss wishing you'd dance in the rain
with me
I miss falling in love
I miss discovering something new
and falling deeper into adoration of you
I miss you saying you'd grow old
with me
I miss falling in love
I miss learning all your quirks
and memorizing your stories
I even miss the way you'd fight
with me
I miss falling in love
I miss making a life of small moments
and saving them for memories
I miss falling in love
with you
Do you,
miss me?

Are you reading this?
Do my words reach your eyes,
your heart, your mind?
I gave you a window to my soul
or have I left only a hole in my side?
A path untaken,
an open wound I refuse to let heal.
I pick at the scab,
itching to let you infect
even as my body tries to redirect.
Are my words drifting to the void,
nowhere else?
Do they tell you that you are not alone,
that I am aching too?
Can you see we lost the forest in the trees?
Are you tripping over reminders
like roots we planted together,
or have you unearthed them already?
Is any of this touching you,
at all?

"To be loved is to be known"
And did you ever truly know me?
If you can think I would commit atrocities
That malice stains my desire
That I would ever let you walk through fire
Alone?
"Maybe in the next life"
Would you choose me then?
Because I chose you again and again
I stabbed you in the back
But darling you just tried to mask
Your knife
"I would do it all again"
I would laugh all the laughs
And fight all the fights
And be more grateful for every moment
If we did, would it be an omen
Of revenge?

I flip-flop
Between confusion, anger, and hurt
And love, hope, and determination
You flip-flop
Between the man I know and love
And someone I do not recognize
Who are you?
Who am I?
Which side of the coin will it be?
When we meet again,
Will we land on the same side
Or will the flowers have died?
Do you know yourself
When you look in the mirror
Or have you forgotten?
Do you remember me?
The way you used to
Soft and certain
I flip-flop
I start to like who I’m becoming
Then remember what it cost
Too high a price
The tag said "you and I"
I should have checked before I swiped
I know you
Your heart is gentle
It has my favorite rhythm
I know you
You build walls too stiff
Bound to collapse
You flip-flop
Between begging me to stay
And pushing me away
I am everything
I am nothing
Depending on the day
You hate me
You love me
You say you don’t believe me
You know me, right?
My heart and my soul
Do you still?

Forgiveness is a gift,
or so I’ve been told.
A skill to keep at my hip,
ready
because I will be hurt
again and again.
And without it,
the bitterness would rot me
from the inside out,
turn me venomous.
But why do I have to begin?
Why does the train
always leave from me?
I am the example,
the lesson,
the one who bends first.
I hear it over and over,
forgive and forget.
Swallow it down.
Let it go.
I'm to to question is it worth it
to hold a relationship?
To keep my hands full of resentment?
They say the hate only harms me,
but what about the harm
done to me?
Why must I stand unarmed
and still be struck
again and again?

Could I cry until I dry up?
Until the well of tears runs empty,
My throat worn raw and rasping,
My eyes pulled tight and ******
My lips cracked, my skin flaking
Everything in me shedding.
Would you finally see
the fracture in my heart?
Would I finally be free,
Or would I have just fallen apart?
Left a barren desert wasteland,
Where your love once bloomed

I’m surrounded by love
But I’m here wishing it was yours
When I make someone laugh
I wish I could share the joy
With the only one I want
The person who was only mine
If forever was in my grasp
How did it slip away
My screams reached the sky
As I begged you to stay
The night holds my tears
And I imagine your arms around me
So I can finally sleep
