I hit the ground, but it wasn’t slowly.

It was sudden and the absence of love had crushed my lungs.

You stole the air right out of me so that you could breathe.

Ripped me apart and claimed it would set me free.

And as I laid there with broken bones and bruised ribs, I realized that this is what falling out of love looks like.

Tonight, I went to bed but I wasn’t alone

I made space for the silence

Words you said, but forgot quietly watched over me

Tonight, I went to bed but I wasn’t alone

And while the moon shivered, I kept thinking, “Remember when you said you’ll never leave me?”

Tonight you went to bed, but you weren’t alone

You made space for my hurt.

Words I said, promises I kept, quietly watched over you

Tonight we went to bed, but we weren’t alone.

My pain is trending on Twitter.

It went viral and I guess they loved the bitterness of my words.

If only they knew where it came from...  

My pain is trending on Twitter.

I cried and cried so many nights and they all replied with a like.

My pain is trending on Twitter.

I wanna be held

I wanna be loved

But all I get is silence

And falling stars crashing to the surface

The sun went down for years and never rose again.

Each day I was swallowed whole by black holes and consumed by empty space taking too much room in my heart.

Have you ever felt this way? Like the world is falling apart?

Instead lives colliding, it’s earthquakes.

Yesterday, my soul was screaming for me wake up. “Wake up!” She said “wake up!”

Today I awoke to the sun rise. I felt heat on my face and for once, it wasn’t icy cold. Today I heard my soul speak.


She said thank you.

“Thank you!”

I can feel myself slowly falling in love.

And why does falling in love feel like falling down a well? I wasn’t pushed, but I jumped and now I find myself clinging anything.

to the air, to the silence, to the fragments of vulnerability I have yet to tell you.

For who knows what will happen when I hit the ground?
