you know, we never meant
for taylor swift’s “daylight”
to become our song,
but it did.
first, it was your golden brown eyes,
then every lyric felt like us.
i guess it’s not ours anymore—
now, it’s yours and hers.
but i can’t help thinking,
we had it first.
If you lose a poem,
Just the paper you wrote it on.
You haven't lost the poem at all.
So I found this notebook a couple months ago that I had been looking for for a few years. It had all the poems I wrote in the 6th grade. But when I opened it to read them, I was shocked to find out in time I had rewritten them all.

I just don't get it
why is it that
being gay
is a sin?
why?

It's just love
why can't
it just
be

My niece
made me bangle
of letters, stars, unicorns|
and colored beads

Then it hit me
that's her poem to me
a set of random things
that sit beautifully
side by side
around in a circle

and I noticed that
that's the first time
someone wrote
a poem
about
me

I ruined it.

I ruined it.

I ruined it.

Overthinking,
Spiraling,
Questioning.

I ruined it.

I ruined it.

The quirks you once loved,
you hate.

I ruined it.

I hate me for ruining it.
Great job genius.

Maybe we write to
make ourselves feel better

about the pain,
heartache
and every other
torturous infliction
that gnaws at our insides

Maybe we write to
survive the torture

because,
instead of screaming on the underground
or crying at dinner
we wait for the confines of paper
or thumbs to Notes.

Maybe we write
because we know
nothing else

isn't that ironic?

We know nothing.
Maybe that's why we write.
Why do you write?

Any instance my eyes turn away from you
don't conceive I've lost my affection
I'm solely focused on things to come
as we stare in the same direction

Anytime I don't say how my love is
don't allow your heartbeat to skip
Some things are too grand to reveal
as profound words escape my lips

Nothing voices louder than our silence
vacant phrases, yet souls defined
Nothing could inspire my heart to quake more
than your eyes looking up into mine

Every time we're burdened with distance
I embrace my pain of your presence missing
Affirmation I've finally found the one
no reluctance for our hearts giving

I want every tomorrow holding you
don't ask what tomorrow may hold
We can grey and our bodies wither
but "we" forever will never get old

You want me to love you again
And I really do want to try
But please just remember, dear,
Once bitten, twice shy.

The last time I fell for you
My life was tickled pink.
But as the end approached, my dear,
I was walking on the brink.

You were a bull in a china shop
And a warning I did impart,
But still something was bound to break
Too bad it was my heart.

Now you're saying all has changed
Black will take no other hue.
You say you want to try again
And bite off more than you can chew.

Well, if you still insist, my dear,
Lets **** two birds with one stone
For this could end in the breaking of
Your heart and my own.
