I still remember your figure, your perfect eyes;

You curled your lips when you write;

Your addictive laughs echoed in my ears;

Time stops around me when i stare at you,



... but then you stare me back,



Don't deny it, don't deny this feeling;

We are like opposite magnets;

Pulling each other emotionally;

You can resist but God please don't,



... but then I remembered,



I miss our little game at the bookstore;

I miss how we flipped pages of books and read random sentences;

I miss how deep you stared how deep you listened to my problems;

I miss your sleepy voice when we talked for hours by nightfall,



... but then you pushed me away,



We talked but we never really talk;

We played our staring game still but you never admit it;

We worked together but you were never there;

We texted but your mind was somewhere else,



... but then I got hurt,



Hurting because of your ignorance;

Deeply cut because you weren't there when I needed you the most;

Scarred because you shut me away into the dark void;

Dying because of this undying love,



... but now I know why,



Yes we're still friends but I'm just your acquaintance;

No we stopped texting you blocked me away;

Yes we met and talked but you were forced to do so;

No you don't want to see me ever again,



... but now I'm still hoping

she was a riptide
the kind of disaster you can’t see
but once you're pulled in
oh god, you can’t get out
she was a crooked smile
a terrible laugh
too much of this,
too little of that
she was a mess
but she was golden
an 11:11 wish
you’d later regret
chaos in a quiet package
something that is
better to forget
she was something to fall for
until you realise
all she does is fall
she is a mess
and always will be
her lungs are filled with panic
and her veins laced with turmoil

please
please tell me
when you move on
tell me you don't love me
please
so i can stop picturing
you calling me
kissing me
holding me
telling me you made a mistake
that you messed up again
please
please tell me
when you do
so i can move on too

s.s
one day
you won't be crying your self to sleep
or hurting your body
they won't be in your dreams
or your head when you wake
their name won't make your heart stop
and seeing them won't make it ache

one day
when you tell them
you're doing good without them
you won't be lying
you won't be crying
you will recover

s.s
I am so jealous you're doing so great because I feel awful all the time and that doesn't seem fair
love is chemical
it's not my fault
i can't rid myself of you
your name is dopamine
your eyes serotonin
your voice oxytocin
you are chemically threaded
in my veins
flowing through
a heart you broke

s.s
it's not my fault, i didn't ask to care about you
this is all my fault
this mess of life before me
this is all my fault

s.s
i feel responsible for us ending even though i didn't end it
why wasn't i good enough for the effort
you were good enough to me
i've compared you to
oceans
drugs and
storms
to light
water
love and
more

i've crafted a million different metaphors
just to try and capture your beauty

but the truth is
you're just a boy
a boy i found perfection in

in every breath you took
and every atom in your ******* body
i found a reason to love

I miss you so much
And that is what hurts the most
Because every ******* time
Someone says your name
That stupid hope
Lights back up

I still think of you as mine
I talk about you like we never ended
Because as much as you hurt me
I still wish we hadn’t
Because you were my sun
And now I live in darkness
