I wrote all these words for you
I wonder if you'll ever read them

Dearest Love,

How are you doing?
I think I still know the sound of your voice.

The missing you isn't constant anymore,
It comes in waves.
Sometimes the moon is full and the waves are big and crash tears all over my face.
Sometimes it's a barely audible lapping sound gently whispering your name.

My life is good and my heart is full.
I wish you could've known this version of me,
But you were the one person standing in the way of it.
I wish I could share all of this with you now but you are not in the place to be loved as deeply and intensely as I love.
Maybe that will always be our tragedy.

Goodbye love.
I am going to keep letting you go.

Think of me often.

*Forever yours

My being alone is a choice
I refuse to settle for someone simply because they present themselves to me
I will never be with someone out of emptiness for I am whole by myself
I cannot give in to mediocre love merely out of physical attraction and try to ignore how his company makes me feel more lonely than when I am just alone

My only problem is
You set the standards incredibly high
You make every one else seem mediocre
And I am having a hard timing loving anyone who tries to follow your footsteps

I wonder how many years will have to pass
So that I may forget February 8th
And what it meant for me and you

I doubt you remember
That three years ago today
You convinced me to make the best decision of my life
I allowed in the best thing that ever happened to me

I tasted your lips for the first time
It was 10 degrees outside but my body had never felt so warm
I didn't tell you then
But I was head over heels from that first kiss

Happy Anniversary baby
I hope your new girlfriend treats you well on the day that used to be ours

You* convinced me to give you a chance
That if I ever changed my mind you'd understand

I still remember the feeling of when you kissed me
I knew that whatever came next
You would be worth it

I felt that feeling every time we kissed
No matter what happened
All you had to do was kiss me and I would fall into the hopelessness of believing you were worth it  

But when I begged you to stay
To work things out
You asked me to accept that you had changed your mind
That our timing was no longer right

But if you kissed me right now
I would believe that you were worth it

*You have always been worth it

10 months later
And people assume that I should be done healing
They forget to ask me how I'm doing
They seem somewhat annoyed when I mention you
And maybe it's because they've never had their hearts broken like this

But I?
I have to start all over everytime a holiday passes and it's the first time I'm not spending it with you
I have to start all over everytime something important happens and I have to remind myself that I can't call you to tell you

Every morning I have to start all over because even my dreams don't know how to let you go

You're the name I'm whispering in my drunken state

I'm the name you're remembering when she's fast asleep

We call out to each other
Hoping that the universe will deliver the message
But it feels something's standing in the way
And I'm just calling out to empty space

They tell me that she's dumb
They tell me I'm much prettier
I spew hateful words about a girl I've never met
And a boy a I used to love

But the truth is
None of it makes me feel any better
Because it doesn't bring you back
It will never make you mine again

The way you're trying to erase me
Only tells me
That you're still utterly terrified
At how much you love me
 Jan 2017
Savannah Charlish
Oh honey,
Don't you know?
I loved him first
And your lips are simply acting as an eraser on sharpied words

He'll always taste me
He loved me first

Tonight
I held my pen
Like I once held you

And while I wept over the loss of you
A smile broke through my tears for all that my poetry had to gain

Her broken heart fell into a slumber
Her body never wanted to wake it up from
