Could we stay friends?
No
I don’t think so
We don’t even make eye contact
For the first time in weeks
I messaged you
Starting with sorry to bother you
Because that’s all I ever did
Bother you
I asked about our mutual friend
And everything seemed
So formal
So business-like
Friendly?
Transactional interaction
You don’t like me anymore
That’s okay I guess
I mean I’d never force you
To be with me
Even though you should have told me sooner
Instead of leading me on
For so long
When you just weren't feeling it
You should have told me the truth
So I wouldn’t have wasted my time
Fighting for your attention
I’ve written a million poems about you
And I’ll write a million more

Hands, Hands
His hands
Hands, I can see them in my mind
I can still feel them
Hands, Hands
Go away!

Under, inside
Peeling from skin
Break free
Shivers from unknown sources
Anxiety cannot be defined
I might be scared
Lose your mind
Pick off the thorns
Set fire to the roses
You’ll be fine

Love
So stupid
It’s not real
The feelings were though
Loving every part of you
Was so easy, was so hard
To make you love me, Love me
Like I did you, am I so unlovable?
That you can’t look at me? I can’t even
Am I so bad? So ugly? Can’t you love me?

You tricked me
I’m not blaming you
It’s me
Who fell for you
And let you
Smash my heart
Into pieces
All of this
Was for nothing
I’ll focus on me from now on
Only me
Forever
Me, myself and I
Together forever
By ourselves

Animal
On the ground
Snarling
Breaking barriers
Out of skin
Transform
You are strong
But not as strong as him
Were you?
He’s weak
Wounded
On the ground
You fight
Snap of bones
Jawbone broke
You won
But did you?
Yes, you did
But was it worth it?

She’s gone
I tried everything
I could
I can’t handle change
I loved her
Done everything I could think of
But it wasn’t enough
