I don’t know why I don’t love you like I used to. Time has passed and I feel less and less strongly. And you say you haven’t changed But maybe that’s the problem. I feel like I’ve changed, I’m not exactly sure who I am right now, Not that I’ve ever felt very sure. I feel like I don’t know anything. This no longer feels exciting. I no longer feel like you’re helping me grow, I no longer feel like you’re part of what helps me Be me. I feel like I’m shedding this skin, And you’re still wearing the one you were nine months ago. It feels rough to my new skin, Makes me itch, Makes me restless. I don’t know why I don’t love you like I used to. Maybe I’m not the same me I used to be. I’m looking ahead, And you’re still looking at me.

Help me understand
I'm cheating on my boyfriend with the moon. It moves me how nothing does, Pulls the tides within me, makes my heart full with joy. Ours is secret love. The moon and I talk sometimes I cry or I laugh, and the moon beams back. And like me, the moon can be half full on some nights. Born from the same light.

Haikus for the Moon
I got kissed goodnight and felt butterflies in my stomach for the first time since I lost you. I was so happy that I danced and I called my best friend rejoicing over this small triumph. But I might have cried wolf.

Hope
The difference between shiny new love and tried and true love is what keeps me up at night. I'll be seeing you.

I'll Be Seeing You
I'm so tired that my eyes hurt. they feel dull and heavy. but, I can feel the tears building in my throat. it's not often I can go to sleep lately without thinking of love lost. better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all, right? I can't sleep without wanting to press my nose against your back again, and breathe you in. without wanting to press my lips against your shoulder, run them across your warm smooth skin. I can't fall asleep and not think of bumping my toes up against yours in the middle of the night and smiling, half-asleep, to myself then curling up a little bit closer to you. desperately I wrap myself around a pillow hoping I'll fool myself, knowing I won't. guess the pillow works anyway, to bury my face into, and soak up my regret

Tired
A craving sits deep, heavy in my stomach And slowly crawls up, up into my throat. Spreads its arms out and Wraps its viny fingers around my collar bones. Rests its left elbow on my heart, Casually. I try to feed it but It rejects my offerings. I'm trying my best I tell it. This isn't what I want! it hisses back. What you want isn't so easily attained Then I guess you'll have to starve it says as it takes a bite of my inside and grins.

Craving
I fall asleep With thoughts of you Floating through my head Lying in my bed. And my words stop Just trickling Dripping through my teeth Falling on my sheets.

Me encanta el sonido de la lluvia. Llena mi cuerpo con un sentido de calma, y me recuerda del bosque y la naturaleza. En mi pequeño mundo de solo casas y calles y jardines bien cuidados, me recuerdo del mundo salvaje, y maravilloso

La Lluvia
We drove through rain so torrential that we were blinded for quick moments. Moving down the road as if frozen in pieces of time, a strobe light illuminating a second at a time of our journey, making it seem as though we moved in slow motion. And now that it's cleared the sky stands like a softly glowing film backdrop while the trees on either side of the highway approach and disappear, the car on a gigantic treadmill getting no closer to the horizon ahead, while the one behind seems to continually fade.
