reading [know the lonely]

i can be alone;
i have been alone
for quite some time;
it’s fine, i will be
alone, but
don’t worry.
you don’t have to
pretend,
you don’t have to
stay up,
you don’t have to
console me
when i want to cry—
but thank you anyway.

it's a thank you for someone who will never read it

untitled (lost for words) part II

too many poems
too many poets
describing the
same **** feelings
and yet
throughout the centuries
none of us
have ever found
the right words

// spent my whole life tryna put it into words //

thank you so much for the daily ♡

Distance

I enjoy distance
Long drives with no destination
Music blaring, miles growing

I enjoy distance
Long walks to nowhere
The peace calms my restless soul

I enjoy distance
Little steps each day
Away from difficult situations

I enjoy distance
Between people and places
And me

I enjoy distance
It gives perspective
Emancipation

I enjoy distance
I also enjoy coming home
When distance has run its course

Goodbye

Why are goodbyes sad?
Are endings supposed to go bad?
Maybe we should be glad,
With the happy times we both had

The memory and laughter,
Every book has its chapter,
Cover the wounds with a plaster,
Oh why did it turn to a disaster

Keep some feelings confined,
Don't worry about me, i'm fine,
Maybe someday it will remind,
Of how you treated me way too kind
