all the little things
finally added up

i was blind by love
for so long
when i finally took off
those love goggles
i saw
for the first time
you are not the person
i thought you were

you no longer deserve
any of my energy
i invested my everything
yet it was never enough
i was never enough

and someone incapable
of appreciating all of me
does not deserve
any of me



c.w.

when relationships end
and come crumbling down
we always wonder, question
if it was as real for them
as it was for us
i do not have the answers
i cannot sit here
promising you that it was
but i do know this
you will one day
be with someone
that never makes you question
you will know without a doubt
they will love you
wholeheartedly
and that
that is real


c.w.

don’t dwell on the memories
you’ll never be able to create
appreciate all the memories
you did create
those are worth so much more
then what could have been

c.w.

i’ll forgive you
when you hurt me
because i like to think
i have endless
petals to pluck
and somehow still
remain grounded


c.w.

i poured my heart and soul
out on the floor
in front of you
only for you to turn around
and walk out the door
that is my life
afraid of everything
it might mean
to be with me

now there’s a mess at my feet
and i am the one
stuck cleaning up my self



c.w.

our relationship
was a combustion of love
we were so afraid
to lose each other
that we held on too tight
we didn’t know how to
separate ourselves
we fed on anything negative
almost to cause excitement
or change
we drove a stick
between us
as i slowly moved further
and further
from your side of the bed
