i used to wish on stars

but people change and with that the place

now i have to make wishes on airplanes and satellites

i hope it works the same

there aren't as many planes as there are stars in the infinite of space
maybe that's why nothing comes true
ff
i could have frozen that moment forever
you, so unaware of your effect on people
me, pretending like i'm different
and i keep thinking, if i knew you were on the board, i would have played the game differently
I don't know if you ever search our names on the internet
and i'm not sure what that means or if I even want to know
regardless of if you read these poems or not
i don't think that your eyes deserve these words
this little glimpse into a life
one that you could have so easily been a part of
this window into the heart and the brain
i don't want you peeping through it anymore
because these poems sometimes feel like this is our identity
and if you didnt want us in real life
why should we let you have us online

but here we are
posting with the hopes that you'll read it
so that maybe you can feel some ounce of guilt
for what you put us through
two broken souls
i’ve lost hope that either of them will be whole

how unfortunate that two perfectly split pieces
won’t fit together
the mug that you got me
it sits at the back of the cupboard
it still has my lipstick on it from the last time you were here

will you stay this time?
im tired of unwashed mugs
the intentions that you set with me were clear
but the intentions that i made with myself were not
stop looking for love in a temporary high
i told you that i loved you

you told me that i could do better
