17/F I hope my words reach those who need them. / / I’ll always be there for a fellow sad girl 🩵
I used to think I would always go back to you; the one who hurt me, the monster under the bed who turned out not to be a monster at all but instead just someone who couldn't help their own destructiveness. But now, I'm not so sure. After all we've been through after all those sleepless nights, I want you back. But I can never forget those painful memories, those nights spent alone and waiting for you. Like waking from a dream, I can't quite remember the details grow foggier in my moments of sorrow when I miss you the most. But when I see that girl who you once compared me to, who you once pleaded I was more like, I want to take it back. Every moment I spent loving you, that was wasted when I could never measure up to that perfect girl you so often envisioned me to be. But I can never be her, only in the fantasies of your mind. And I guess you live in my dreams, too, because I can never forget the sweet boy you once were and who I spent all that time wishing you would go back to being. So I guess, I would go back to you, just not the you, who you are now. I would go back to the you who bought me flowers on Valentines day and called me every dusk to tell me you loved me. Not the you who ignored my calls, stopped answering my questions, and stabbed me in my heart too many times, until I couldn't take the bleeding anymore. But for him, I would still wish on my favorite star for him.

Back to You
Someone once told me that they believe in old love blossoming into new beginnings At my most optimistic, I believe, too. I see you in my dreams they show me glimpses; the past, our future, and some present wonderings I can't bear to indulge while awake. I can't stand the thought of this being the last of us. I love you so, always have. Our love once a young and beautiful bud, it's growth stopped short. We never got the chance to be just those two people we were sharing whispers by the sea. Perhaps, I will be more optimistic.

Blossoms
when i'm with you, you make me starve. always starving for affection, love, safety. i throw up i can't eat i can't sleep, and at the end of the day my feelings for you feel just like my stomach, with you i feel empty. like the bottomless pit in my belly i forget to eat when i'm too busy crying. god god, i'm so starving. when i get with you, it felt like i was getting fat, your love fed me three meals a day. maybe i'll eat my stability for dessert. now i wake up and i feel it all again. i forget 'til you remind me how much you make me feel like, "god i'm ******* starving." i pretend that it's ok, as i watch my stomach grow flatter. i tell myself it's healthy, i could lose a few pounds. i've always wanted to be skinny, anyway. everytime you don't text back i feel like i never wanna eat again.

Starving
There is nothing I have felt that compares to the feeling of seeing the lights go up, seeing the dance moves play out, and the main character standing, all alone, center stage, in your show. Life is so beautiful when we use it to create. How else will we tell our stories? Or someone else’s? Sometimes it feels like we’re telling the tale of long forgotten memories, two people lost to time. Ordinary moments made significant by the human experience, by emotions, and by embracing what it means to be alive. An art so vast it can be understood by all. That look an actor gets when the moment feels all too real, like they are so engrossed, it feels like it's really happening to them. That is true art And I have never seen anything like it.

Beautiful Life
It turns out The only way to fix our relationship was to End it. To go back to the way It was, We needed a clean slate. Then, All of a sudden, Like the rush of our first kiss It was like we went back in time. Closer Than when we were only Friends, But without the romance, We are just two People Who know everything About each other. The strangest details And simplest old Secrets Told between covers And on couches And on sunny saturday Afternoons Between kisses. The smallest things You wouldn’t know Unless you’ve experienced The whole Of someone, In moments That are raw And things you could never ask. You seem so simple to me now. Just a plain boy Who tells stories Makes rashes choices And just wants to be Loved. That was something you and I shared. My eyes aren’t clouded anymore And the two of Us Are clear As the night sky, The same as on that night We shared Last summer At the the beach When all We cared for Was ourselves. And after It all, I’m glad you still Care. Because I’ll always care, Too.
