29/F/American I am just an amateur poet. Waiting for her heart to finally stop.
I've been pulling my own mind apart over hypotheticals Over thinking OVER thinking Obsessing on someone who I have no connection with Dreaming about ending things with someone I do Is this a life lesson Have I loved "too" hard in the past and this is my repentance I'm afraid to be alone because I never have been I'm afraid of who I am alone The quiet is scary If these are my thoughts while content What will they be when I'm alone.

Breaking down
Sometimes I feel more like a caretaker than a partner Sometimes I love you unconditionally and completely But sometimes I'm too tired to know how.

Happy Have I ever been happy? There are such small moments where the outside world fades away and I think I am Then it passes and it all comes back into focus and I'm not just unhappy I'm drowning.

Meaning of the word
Being fat is hard Your first bully will always be your mother Then there will be your peers And over time you start to break But food is your comfort, so it's all you can turn to when you're feeling down You build this personality to make others laugh So that they dont laugh AT you You convince yourself that anyone who does want you will only want you for a moment Then they prove it over and over again The number of men who've touched my body without even a kiss Tells me they didn't want me at all They just wanted to get off Being fat is hard All you want is love and acceptance All you want is to be desired And all you feel sometimes is snubbed Whether by society, your loved ones or life Being fat is hard.

Fat
I can't even begin to describe the lust I look up into your eyes I look at your strong arms I watch in confusion and awe As my body reacts to every moment spent in your presence I don't understand this craving I just think it would be delicious to try.

Just a lick
I am the marrow And you envelop me It feels like there's a string From my soul to yours I've sawed at it for so long And nothing can cut it I want you And you're willing to break yourself And leave me exposed.

Bone marrow
I was born to submit to the universe Forced to take things I didn't want Feel things I didn't understand An empty space where my father should have been An overflowing space where my mother always has been I crumbled with my first love And the chaos that ensued... Submit to this man And that one too Because all I've ever had was my body to give And they never minded to take without permission I'd slice myself open But the worst form of self harm was slicing my heart open after every bed I was in I was born to submit The universe has me in it's grip It's been so long I've started to enjoy the feeling of it around my neck

My love for you is shelved Like an old book in the library that no one ever checks out The dust gathers and the edges fray but the words remain You cannot un-write a story.

Shelved
We have so much history together Those emotions are burned into my skin But I don't know what I want more To remember Or forget

Why don't they teach little girls That your first love will stain your soul Your husband can scrub and yet the history can never be erased There will always be moments I think of you They don't teach little girls how first love feels And they certainly don't teach what it is to be loved, truly and completely And I'm so grateful I learned.
