glass-sunshine
I am an undergraduate student at the University of Utah, working on a Bachelors of Science in Writing & Rhetoric Studies. My goal is to become an editor of science fiction and fantasy and write as I please on the side. I am primarily a fiction writer, but I do write the occasional poem or two. Enjoy, and I do welcome any feedback you may care to give.
The winter approaches
But I am not afraid
For I have the warmth of your arms

Sometimes my heart pangs a thousand melodies
all fighting to be heard.

I hope the hole you left
fades into mere memory,
just as it did with him.
Until then it gapes open,
a black hole nothing can fill.

I didn't realize I meant so much to you.
How could I give you my whole heart
When you tell me about the girl you love
that you one day plan to marry?
Why would I give you everything, heart and soul,
only to be left behind?
To fall so completely in love with you,
knowing there's someone you love more?
How could I not try to make it with someone else,
someone who I thought I stood a chance with?
I thought we could walk away,
That we'd still be okay.
How could I be so wrong?
Give it time,
they've said.
But how can I stand by and
watch you hurting?
What could I do,
when I can't even look you in the face
or return the most simple hello?
My actions were cruel, but done
with the most honest of intentions.
Your words were cruel, but I have
to believe they were born of hurt, that you
don't truly mean them.
I thought we would be okay.
How could I know?
How could I know.

There's an itch on my wrist
That I refuse to scratch.
I will stare at my wrist and I will say
"You will not win this."

I left the only person whom I have loved
and who has loved me in return
to come back to you.
I ruined that relationship
for you.
And you treat me like I'm crazy.
Like I'm some wounded dog,
or some child who makes
a big fuss over a broken toy.
You broke me.
And you keep breaking me.
I just want to heal.
I want to love.
I want to be loved.
I don't want to lose anymore people I care about because of you.
My life is my own.
Stop throwing **** at me.
If you don't care, let me go.
Let me go,
so I can stop hurting the people I love
because I loved you
but you dropped me and watched me shatter on the ground
and left me there
And I love him.
And he can't even look at me.
He can't even speak to me because
I let you toss me around
me, a china doll, not whole again.
When will you drop me next?
What happens then, to something already broken?
