I’ve always been a loner.
Nonconformist.
Condoner of my own space.

Don’t pry my doors and expect my walls not to quiver

My mirror image,
an interdimensional
reflection of me.

I wanted to lean in
There
At that moment
I hesitated

My heart hurt.
It pulled towards another
But stumbled over you.

You let go,
I didn’t want you to
But I knew we had to

"if I asked you to name all the things you love, how long would it take you to name yourself?"

i told you
the memories of moments
i have of you.

but today i say

i want more.
moments to make memories
that i'll tenderly keep of you.

In truth, you like the Pain.
You like it because you believe you deserve it.

my worst heartbreak
is when I learned
to love someone
who isn't myself

dark is guilty
we were seing
roads are responsible
we were walking
ends are different
we were knowing
and cold is true
we frozen
