I don't know how I did it but I did it all wrong.
You were my incorrect lover, yet I was your definition of love.
I wasted your time trying to figure out if I was in love or not.
I was never confused, I didn't even drag you along.
I
Was  
So
Focused
But
Your
Hands.
It's your touch that made everything feel like home.
The passion I experienced through them made me overstay my welcome in your arms.
I was never emotionally there
But physically you flipped switches I never knew could be turned on.

I want you to be like a book I read long time ago.. Beautiful but forgotten,I will watch while other books pile up on top of you, I will sneeze at how lazy I am to remove the dust off of you.
I will content myself with the browning of your pages and watch while my niece is eagerly tempted to tear pages from your book to scribble letters she is not sure she can even write yet,
but looking at your book she wasn't really bothered.
I will however "always" make reference about your existence when needed.
Probably
NEVER!

You're
a
few
months
too
late
to
want
to
rekindle
the
love
you
lost!
I kept chasing
you, as if
you were
a distant dream.
But dreams
are not always
dreams.
Sometimes, we have
nightmares too.
When did those dreams turned into nightmares? When did I stop believing in the magic of dreams?

!
Cover me
   Have
my
Back!
For once show me loyalty without asking hesitation and doubt for confirmation.
Can i look you dead in the eyes and feel safe?
I'm not at home with you!
I'm wandering with no direction but can feel your fingers interlocking mine.
I don't mind the lies.
The cheating has become a norm.
The scars you left have rearranged my physical appearance completely.
That's all on me!
I allowed it to get that far,
I endured the pain instead of walking away.
What's on you
Is the broken girl caged in the corners of her mind waging war with her fury
You created that monster and now you can't bare the sight of her.

i want to get high in foreign cities
travel to places i have yet to lay my eyes on
pack a bag and take off, my only motive to feel free
i want to kiss lovers on pavement my toes have never touched
beneath trees rooted with legends in their leaves
ensuring everlasting love
and i want to feel light, rather than weighed down
anchored to one small town
i want to drop everything and get away
to places where time is altered
and the stars are always present
whether it be in the night sky or people's eyes
i want to fall in love with strangers, cities, and scenes
i crave so deeply to feel free
to start anew

but at the same time
i want you to come too

Triggered.
And just like that the roar of a thousand waves crashing on a cliff side could not compete with that noises in
my head.

Suffocated by a lump sitting so comfortably in
my throat.

Arrogantly making each breathe I take feel like
my last.
Words are the biggest triggers. They hurt.
