I won’t be truly happy
I can’t when all I want is our happiness

ill love
When I say
that I miss you,
I don’t just mean
I miss the I love yous,
or that I miss the look
you could give me with
just your eyes. In fact, I miss
the way you think, the way you
held me even when I said I was
okay, and the way you let me
in without flinching. I don’t
miss love, I miss your love.
I’m going to be honest
Not that I need to
Just feels like extra weight

I looked at all your poems
Everyday
Even though I said I wouldn’t

But I think you knew I would
Why wouldn’t I
I’m going to be truthful
Sorry
So help me god
Indefinitely

Must be fate
I can’t stay away from that word
Stuck in a loop of wanting
Still in the same situations

Yet I’m still growing
One day maybe I’ll have it all
Unless I can’t manifest it

Except
Let’s be real
It wouldn’t be that bad
Zebras aren’t that rad
All I can ask is for peace

I’m tired

Less and less sleep each night
Out and about more each day
Very much exhausting
Especially while being heartbroken

Yet here I am
Outgoing per usual
Until-indefinitely
Let’s see this go unnoticed
The engine roared
And she looked over
Smiling
And looking at me

How I wished she was in my car
But in the moment
I couldn’t look away from her eyes
She’s my world after all

Then she put her music on
And we waved goodbye
I waited
Fearing I’d lose sight with her in view

She drove past
Another exchange of smiles
I put my hands up in a heart-our signature
How I wish she could know
