He's made this easier on me
He's not who I thought he was
I can't mourn him
He's not the man I knew
He's not the man I loved
He's not the man who touched my heart
I love who I believed him to be
I will love the love he gave to me
I need to start believing people when they show me who they are
I have learned so much
But I can't stand to not be believed when I tell the truth
I can't stand to be disrespected because someone is hurt
I can't stop time
I can't stop behavior
or actions
But I can take myself out of the equation
I will find peace and I will heal.

I wrote nothing immediately after our break up.
He texted me ten hours later.
He messaged me in the morning and he said he needs to talk again.
He's said so much to me
My bed is empty without him
At one time he said we should live together
He cried in front of me yesterday
He said who knows, maybe we would have ended up together forever
He wiped the tears from his eyes.
I wanted to kiss his tears from his cheeks.
I want him so badly to be happy and content.
Even if that means he's not with me.
He said he hasn't cried like this in three years.
He said we jumped into things.
But the feelings have always been there.
They are still there.
So we will talk tomorrow,
he doesn't want "to do anything without" me
He says he loves me
Asked me to marry him today
I laughed
He said "and you think I'm joking"
I have to take it as a joke
for I will break if I do not.

I want to watch you brush your teeth in the bathroom mirror every night.

I am a fun house
I am an obstacle course
I am a trophy with legs
I am a figure of lust
I am a house of embarrassment
I am tormented inside
Why do I live
Why don't I hide

He told me it's getting hard to deal with
I am the one who has not stopped crying
You don't know what hard to deal with even means

He grabs my waist and pulls me in
He tells me words like
“You’re so thin”
He touches underneath my shirt
He calls me sweet things
And whispers ***** words
He kisses my forehead and my neck
He praises me, says I’m the best
And so I smile
And I wait awhile
Praying for the return
of a girl stronger than me

I can’t bring myself to listen to the songs I once loved before
Like I can’t bring myself to reopen every wound I thought was closed
Like I can’t stare at the same art without picking each detail apart
There is love here I am afraid to lose
And I don’t know where to start
How does one mend an ever-breaking broken heart

I like to give my love to you
Because you deserve it like no one else does
You walk this earth uniquely
You encounter my expectations ever so sweetly
I want to know you need me
That these feelings are not fleeting
Months ago he asked
if I think we'll be together forever
I stumbled
I am still puzzled
Who asks someone that?

My struggles now are solvable
Equations which are true
Equatable, and logical, there is all but an artful clue

I hope acceptance comes with age
I hope tranquility joins too
I hope my mind is full of things that are easy, and beautiful, and true
I hope that sunny days make me smile
And I hope I grow old for quite awhile
I hope that I am joyous and I hope that I am healthy
I hope that I have learned to love
Love Me.
Love Me.
Love Me.
