Too Many Nights

I spend too many nights thinking
Wondering, writing, dreaming
Of someone who doesn't even think of me

resonating thought #5

I can feel us drifting...
how far
until I can't reach you anymore?

I never want to lose you.

xoxo

I keep your perfume dabbed note by my bedside
Every time I sleep, yours is the last scent I know;
And every time I wake you kiss me good morning
A cruel reality makes the dream all the more sweet

You

You are the only person i know i won’t forget
Because no matter who else comes along, no matter what they do
At the end of the night when i let my mind free, it always runs straight back to you

Throw away

As long as it takes for me to throw away your hoodie,
that's how long it will take.
The thing is, it doesn't feel like it's mine to throw away.
But then again, I wasn't yours to throw away.
And that didn't stop you

I felt like I belonged

you held me close to you,
and I felt your heart beating
deep inside of your rib cage.

I closed my eyes and listened
to the rise and fall of your chest,
hearing the soft thump of
your heartbeat and imagining
that if I stayed still for long enough,
I could melt into you.

for the first time in my life,
I felt like I belonged.

you made me feel like
I belonged with you

like I belonged on this planet.

like I belonged here, right here,
secure in your arms.

I haven’t felt safe
since you let go of me.

self sabotage

I knew from the ******* start
it would go no further than what it was.
There would be no dates,
no hand-holding,
no declarations of love while sitting under a beautiful sunset at 7:02pm on a Sunday.

Those things are her's,
have been her's for seven years
and probably will be for seven more.

But **** did you make it seem as though
I was worthy of those things,
that I could hold your hand,
and take you on dates,
and tell you that I love you under a beautiful sunset at 7:02pm on a Sunday.

And **** did it hurt, **** does it hurt that
you gave me something so new, something so strong that I forgot what I knew from the ******* start:

you can never love me. you don't want to love me. you WILL never love me.

I was just for fun,
but she's for forever.

I knew I couldn't do casual, and I ended up exactly where I knew I would if I tried.

physical

my bones are slowly
                              b  r  e  a  k  i  n g
                                              a     p     a     r     t
without your T  O  U  C  H
to hold them together.

your lips sealed my fate like g l u e
my body is     s    t    u    c    k
waiting and
waiting and
waiting and
w a i t i n g

for you to come back and fix me
