i wonder if
there’s ever been
a moment when
all seven billion hearts
beat in unison
i guess not

our boys wouldn’t
be afraid to cry
and
our girls wouldn’t
be afraid to try

we wouldn’t
be afraid
to let boys love boys
or let boys be girls

we’d all just be
seven billion
human hearts

i guess the thing
that hurt the most
wasn’t you choosing her

it was the way
you almost didn’t
i felt like you used me
as a distraction
when you two weren’t
doing well

and i was really angry at you
for a really long time

it really is a       privilege to
feel with such a great capacity,
but don’t assume that means
you’ve  lost the  right
to  complain
about
it
feeling your own pain
*****

but feeling everyone else’s too?
good god it hurts

and i think that’s okay to admit

you make forever
seem less like a concept,
and more like
all the tuesdays

Who left you
so broken that your
eyes now cut deeper than
the sharpest knife?
We are left with such hatred
weighed upon our hearts
and all we can do
is laugh.

i find it funny
how often i speak of love
when i myself
don't quite know what it is
and don't quite know what the difference is
between romance
and romanticised.

You are a beautiful sight to look at.
Your light shines when everything's consumed by darkness.
You bring calmness.
There are other things I can stare at but my eyes would always look for you.

I often wonder
If my best lines
Ended up in the wastebasket
Or perhaps, forgotten
Because I was on city transit
Or
the toilet,
A nautical mile away
From the nearest
