sometimes i think im ready to move on
& love someone else again

my chest begins to ache
i begin to feel excited
to spend time
closely with someone

but then i hurt
& convince myself i am not ready
to give myself to someone
ever again

i chose to believe that love does not equate to pain

healing is having the strength to leave when you still feel lonely. it is being able to thank you, instead of resent you for the hurt. thank you for making me feel loved for the first time in my life. & for loving every bit of me although i didn't. thank you for giving me a home when i no longer had one. & for the unconditional support you had for me though we no longer were. i thank you for showing me that, love is not a duality, but infinite in it's expression.

Won’t you look at the mess you made?
The lights go out,
I come apart.
The sun rises,
And so do I.
But in the night,
When I’m alone,
Your shadow stands over me
And offers a sad smile
A plastic sorry
...
And I forgive you.
Every
Single
Time.

Phases of the moon,
Of fragments that are seen,
Won’t you stop and admire my beautiful cratered skin?

Phases of the moon,
My beautiful shine and gleam,
Ever wondered why my other side is left unseen?

If misery loves company
Then Hell adores it.
Still I search for the best

i used to think about letting go of you as something i would learn how to be able to do someday. today, i face my biggest fear with no heads up, wishing i had more time to learn how to fight the feeling of loneliness that you helped me overcome a million times.

i wake up
wishing i had no regrets
of the ways i allowed you to use
my love
& body
to get you through your broken heart

waiting in delusion
for the day you would want me back
as i beg to cross your mind

but now
i just want to feel better
i deserve peace
