I feel your heart
Beating through your chest
Against my hand
And in my ears
It's the sweetest sound
I can think of
The rhythm of your pulse
In time with your breathing
My small, cold ears
Pressed against your sweaty, hairy chest
Taking in every beat
Hoping each beat
Is for me

We always joked
That overdosing
Is the way to do it

Pop
Pop
Pop the pills
Just

Pop
Pop
Pop the pain away
Until

Pop
Pop
Pop you're in the clouds
Forever

I found all these poems
That don't mean **** anymore
Because they're from a time
That doesn't mean **** anymore
And they're about a person
Who doesn't give a **** anymore

The worst part is
I still give a ****
About this ****** person
From all these ****** poems
Even though I ******* shouldn't
Because I'm not a ****** person

What if you leave me?
The thought
Burns in my mind
Putting my body
On ******* fire

What if you leave me?
No longer in love
Not even in lust
No longer
Anything
With me


What if you leave me?
I cry at night
Waiting and worrying
Wondering
What keeps you
Here
With me

What if you leave me?
I can't stand
The thought
Of being
Hurt
By you

I can only stand
Being loved
And wanted
By you

And it's all frightening

What if you leave me?

But then again
Why would you stay?

I'm happier now
That I've moved on
Happier now
That I'm not stewing
Happier now
Because you're not
Abusing me
****** me
Happier now
Because I'm not with you
Happier now
Because I feel **** again
Happier now
Because I don't feel guilty
For staying with
Someone I don't love
Happier now
Because I don't have to
Pretend anymore
Happier now
Because you've moved out and gone
Happier now
Because I'm finally free

Gotta pull my hair back
But can't look too masculine
When I get on my knees
To **** his ****
Let the black mascara run
Down my pink cheeks
As I think about
Everything but this moment
He says he likes what he sees
He likes what he feels
My thighs are aching
****, no teeth
Well...maybe a little
Not like I'm gonna get anything
Probably sore knees and
A mouthful of ****
That tastes like bleach
I'll cry about it later
Have to finish strong
So he can finish strong
And prove the patriarchy
Really loves a ****
Who will get on her knees
Not a strong woman
Who stands on her feet

I'm sitting in
My slice of the world
Writing ****** love poems
Waiting for you
To text me back
But my anxiety
Tells me you never will
I write ****** love poems
Filled with the things
I want to say to you
But I'm too afraid
To say them
Because what if
You don't feel
The same way?
What if
You find
Someone else?
What if
I'm just
A placeholder?
Until you find
What you're actually
Looking for
Meanwhile I'm
Just sitting here
In my slice of the world
Writing ****** love poems
Hoping
You'll ****** text me back
