I’ll cut off my ties
and forget your existence
I’ll forget I ever had you
And i’ll keep my distance
I’ll forget you, i have to
and everything about you
cause i can’t afford to have
something holding on so loose
hearts broken
friendships torn
how can't i
look upon you with scorn?
but ‘tis part and parcel
of having a crush
you think it is all fun and games
but you’ll end up being crushed
having a crush

I should settle for less
but nonetheless
i kind of wished
someone would like me
like i liked you

My hair,
It strangles me
And leaves red marks
On my own neck.

My nails,
They scrape against skin
Peeling away flesh to give way
To my own blood.

My knees,
They buckle
And bruise themselves
To let my own skin scrape

My teeth,
They bite into skin
And blood drips from
My own mouth.

My words,
They float into the air
And reform
Into my own curses I whispered

I think...
you believe in me






more than I do

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
Beans Oct 2024
honestly,
i wish it were me
