You told me you didn't like my writing because it was sad,

But you still thought it was beautiful.

I hope that's how you feel about me.
It's 11:11,

You wished to be happy,

But I wished to be good enough;

& that's the difference between us.
But I left before I could hurt you.
What if you're right?

What if I can't love?

What if I only needed you when I'm lonely?

What if I don't love her?

What if I'm just "lonely" again?

Then what the **** do I do?
You said I was just lonely and I ******* believed you.
Break a poet's heart.

No really,
Tell them you love them,
Kiss them and hold their hands,
And then leave.
Just like that.

Leave just like she did.

Escalus
I sit in the middle of street,
Remembering how it used to be,
Months ago you looked at me with such a love, such a passion.
Now I question if you even look at me at all,
I listened to a voicemail you left,
It was brief, but in it you said you loved me,
Oh I remember how it used to be,
I remember quite vividly.
As if it was yesterday,
Of how you spoke to me
I stand in the middle street,
And see a shooting star,
I wish for another chance with you,
Then I think of what you would wish,
But I quit,
Because I know you wouldn't wish for that same thing too.
I begin to walk back in, and take another hit.
No. **** that. I did.
I ******* gave you the world,

And you were too busy looking at the stars to notice.
