at 15, i remember the close proximity of our breaths exchanging
ours, as in you and i farther like two souls searching for something that isn't there
i learned to bottle up emotions;
building walls yet having a door exclusively open, just for you
but i was young and naive,
what i had whole is now broken in two

Physical wounds
Mental wounds
Emotional wounds
They are all wounds
We all have at least one
They are all equally bad
And we all deserve a hand clap for surviving  them

I believe in constants and that in every world and parallel universe, there's always going to be a boy, a girl and a tragic love story

tea that steeps too long
leaves a bitter taste
the very same way
we held on too strong
to something gone
we wasted months

I soaked up
years of your self hatred
and now I am here.

Cavities now rot my teeth,
I spent months trying to sweeten
the tea we let steep
for far too long

You are like the happiness and energy I get from drugs, only you're not one and unfortunately you aren't at my convenience.

You are as beautiful as every sunset I've seen in my entire life combined, as amazing as all of them. But unfortunately you're not a sunset, and I don't get to see you every night.

You are as calming as every light rainstorm and slow moving stream that I wish would never end and I don't want to leave.
Another quick untitled thing (everything is untitled that I write??)

this morning
i am stuck

i am stuck
between
Blue
and
Pink

every morning
i face the same decision
and ask the question
how do i feel today?

and every morning
i struggle
not because i cant find the answer
but because im scared of it

because i know
that i cant be Purple
thats too confusing

but i feel Purple
