eventually the lightning fades
the sky turns back to gray and there was
never a thing to worry about at all
it's only a moment my love
Alice May 2020
sometimes the only person there for me
is the one I know shouldn't be
I know it'll burn again
I know It will ache just as
the last time

I keep myself in the cycle
but what else am I supposed to do
when on our worst nights we were
the only ones who held each other til
morning
its not all black & white
Alice Mar 2020
i am haunted by myself
every version of the person
i was
or
could have been
gently stands at the door
waiting for me to join them
im not too far away

you know, you never did
answer my last question
brushed it off with a "haha"
and now we don't talk anymore
well, you don't
i thought it was going somewhere
before you just disappeared
Alice Feb 2020
and im trying to keep everyone else
from sinking

but I've never learned how to swim
the burden of their hurts on top of my own

and god, i loved him
i was far too young
far too fragile
to know what that meant, but
above all else
i loved him
still do
Alice Feb 2020
i very quickly become attached
to those with a bleeding heart
because i see myself in them

i want to make them better
i want to fix their brokenness
and maybe it's selfish
but
i think i hope that by fixing them
i'll learn to fix myself too
it hasn't worked yet
