Words,
They could never hurt,
They could never cut,
They could never make you bleed,
Physically.

Words,
A manifestation of self-hate,
Written in bold,
Anorexia, Bulimia, Depression,
I was sold.

Words,
The last,
Written on a bloodstained note,
"I can't stay afloat"

Wrapped up in unrequited love,
I’m sorry that I was never good enough.

City lights,
Views,
Sunday Blues.

Coffee,
Sunsets,
Can we reset?

Long drives,
Kisses,
Left me in pieces.

In a mess I created,
Drowning,
Cannot get out,
Breath bated.

Let’s run away?

I loved you.

He awakened my eyes to an unrivalled love,
Insomnia grips me,
I stare at him,
Lovingly,
Intoxicated by his very being.
In that moment,
I never thought I'd ever have to watch him,
leaving.

I followed him,
Into deep waters,
I dove,
Head first,
In love,
Fully immersed.
  
I thought he'd be my saviour,
But,
When I started drowning,
I realised,
He was the anchor.
