Today
my mother sent pictures of my cats
with my house on the background.

Everything looks the same as the day I left.
It's like time has barely passed over there
but here,
it feel like forever has passed by.

When it's only been 3 days.
How do I do this for another 3 years?

"we could have it all"

I remember the days from 2 years ago,
when the only thing I wanted to do was cry.
And when I was finally done crying,
I did the most cliché and expected thing,
; cutting my hair short.

The thought to cut my hair never occurred to me again.
Because I want to keep the length of my hair as a reminder,
of the days I spent without you.
Because cutting my hair again would be a betrayal,
would be tricking my mind into thinking,
"this is the end of my episodes..."

I know it isn't the end.

To say I've erased every single evidence of you,
is a big fat lie.

My Instagram's archive would remind me,
every year without fail,
how you became part of my life that night.
A memory I could never delete.

Does yours remind you of me too?

Because,
I'm clinging onto the very last evidence,
that you once,
happened.

you and me,
are in an unfinished story,
that kind which the ending is made cliff-hanging,
but there's usually a sequel coming.

but you and me,
won't make it into the next book,
even after a year of writing.

because you and me,
parted ways for good.

but I am still living in one of those chapters,
Should have make my character dead.
It has been in fact more than a year since we ended whatever we had. It had been a tough year.

I am a fridge,
Keeping everything you need,
In this cold body of mine.

My heart skips a beat,
every time you come,
opening my door to take anything you need,
only to leave again, closing me shut.

On happy days,
you'll leave properly.

On bad days,
you'll leave angrily,
slamming my door,
because someone has taken,
your favorite smoothie.

The blame is on me,
for I have failed,
to keep everything you need.

Bon appetit,
of everything you took out of me,
including my self love and sanity.
i wrote this for my contemporary literature class homework hehe. it's a tad angsty.

I just want peace.

I just want to listen to songs,
And not feel the ache in my heart.

I just want to walk in public,
And not flinch,
Every time I think I heard your voice.

I just want peace.
Can you please, let me have it?
