A letter to the girl who was mine:
I love you so
But sometimes in love
You’ll have to see them go.
I didn’t realise then,
but my heart was always glass,
now shattered and heartbroken,
shards unchanging as the days pass.
Without you I’m a plant
ripped raw from its ***
Roots outstretched for its holder
Longing for what was
But even if I wait
For hours or even days
I know you’re never-
-coming back to me again.
Dear girl who was mine
To forget us is a battle
I overdose on my medicine
Trying to heal, how do I settle?
Without you I am like a shirt
-without sleeves
Cure me of this  
this.. monstrosity
I didn’t realise then
But you were my pillar
Even then,
Pillars can be smashed
A pillar of sugar
Dear girl who was mine:
I love you so.
Even… even
if you don’t.

I enjoy writing,
so I do poetry
But to see that fire beside my poem
even this becomes idolatry
why can't i enjoy anything for a while

honestly,
i wish it were me

Glass on the windows
Shattered
Because
I
Broke
It

On the bed
Dust
Though I rest
I am tired
And
The bed is far

Shelf
With books
Untouched
Exposed
But forgotten

Instruments
Unstrung
Unplayed

Empty room
No more
To entertain

i bit the apple
because you promised me sweet
but all i got was sweet lies
- and scars in my eyes
'tis the essence of sin

i drank the poison
-not because i didn’t know it was poison
but because i hoped that i'd find a grain of sugar  
in those pretty lying eyes

I fell in love with a poet
Who wrote psalms from His heart
and songs from my shards
