He said-
Words cannot hurt you
And I tried to remember that
As they slid down my throat
Your name always tasted bitter on my tongue

I think of you in moments.
In the spaces between seconds.
In the pause before I speak.
Before my breath leaves my tongue and before my lips open to let it out.
I think of you in the crack between the door where the sun comes in and I think of you when it leaves.

You asked me when I think of you

I often wonder what you'd think
If you ever really saw me
And I often think
You'd be disappointed
Tabbitha Erceg Jul 2019
I wanted to tell you
That you had hurt me.
But I think
You already knew.

Sometimes
I worry
I have spent the entirety
Of my present
In the past
Tabbitha Erceg May 2019
I think
I have more love for you
Then I know what to do with

He said-
If you tell,
It will ruin my life.
So I stayed silent-
And let it ruin mine.
