i get burnt every time

trying to hold onto you
is like trying
to hold onto
fire

painful
and

impossible

but yet I keep trying

Emily Dec 2018

notice me

i painted the sky blue for you.
yet you never even bothered
to look up.

i’m not like you

i was always amazed
how you were capable
of loving
while hurting.
and i guess
i’ll continue to be amazed
as you love me
while I hurt you

lost

don’t come looking for me
there’s a reason I can’t be found

Emily Dec 2018

forever and a day

moonlight
seeping through the curtains
casting shadows
onto our entwined bodies.
feeling your hands in my hair
and our love in the silence.
forever will never be long enough,
here with you

Emily Dec 2018

wel(come) home

and I’ll wait
for as long as it takes
for you to find
happiness
with me
again

Emily Dec 2018

do you, too?

I look at the moon and think of you.
