"write hard and clear about what hurts." - Ernest Hemingway
i burn at the touch of your stained hands how dare you in that moment i forget how to forgive you i forgive me just to forget you i was enough i am enough i remember how i wished your hands would be on fire every time you touch all your lies your hands brought them back to life on me i forget how to not be a stranger in my own skin you became a stranger in yours to forget i was enough i am enough in a fleeting moment i let myself believe you were homesick you knocked once twice thrice and then you left you forget how to try you try to forget that i was enough i am enough

There once was a time when I'd defend those eyes. Every eye is a chasm of beauty, the entirety of the soul. That was a year ago. My perspective has changed, like the sound of your name. I'm no longer familiar with those eyes. I'm scared.

A Mask To Hide The Trenches
sadness is an anchor. it anchors you to the past in which memories circle you, mock you, hurt you. it anchors you to your bed because it feels so hard to face the day. it anchors you to the idea of the person you thought you knew, making you wonder if anything was even real. it anchors you to the broken world that you've built with that person; it's destroyed and you sit in the broken remains in despair. it anchors you to the thoughts of that person, how the person is doing, if the person prefer the new person better than you, if they are doing the same things, if the person is thinking about you. it anchors you to the fear that nothing will ever get better, that you might not be able to live because you forgot life before the person. it anchors you to the uncertainty of the future because you've planned so much but with the inclusion of that person and now you're lost. it anchors you to your broken dreams, surrounded by the shattered pieces. it anchors you to the piercing words that person said, things you never imagined them capable of saying. it anchors you to the ghost of that person. but never forget that even the strongest anchors are lifted once the ship is ready to move. you'll be ready one day.

anchor
you knew me well enough to know that i had a hard time letting go of my past and i knew you well enough to know that you had a fear of being forgotten. maybe that's why you decided to leave and be part of my past; i never could forget it, never could forget you, no matter how hard i tried.

(i cannot stop)
It has two kinds, One, does not end - a perennial wait for you; One, bound in a moment - wrapped in your embrace

Eternity
even the moon changes every night, and I had the nerve to believe you would never change your mind.
