Your love is as sweet as a strawberry
With the flavor bursting from every angle
and making me smile, despite myself.

Your love is like chocolate
comforting me in thick waves
of home, and reassurance
I'll try my best to deserve you <3
REM
I had my first good sleep last night
without my own thoughts suffocating me
pulling me into the darkness
and leaving me breathless from anxiety
at 2 a.m.

I dreamed
that my uncle turned against me
and the night before,
a murderer was on the loose

But I can confidently wake up and say
I had a good sleep
ignoring my subconsciousness
and the vivid deaths my brain spurred

So I smiled to the snow
and to the frigid cold
that was slowly creeping back
into my fears
my dreams are being very weird

i can only sleep listening
to clips of your voice.
does that scare you?
it scares me.
when you hear the crows,
head towards hollow spaces.

they will be both soft and loud
like something she said,
that you forgot to listen to.

catch glimpses of her in flight.
in the darkness of the night.
for my sister, who desperately begged me to write about crows.
is that really so hard?
all i asked for
was a fake grin
and to feel like a queen for the day.

my mouth is sore
from whispering
the words i wanted to hear from you

The nights i prayed
for the letter today
wasted
because the few people I wanted to be happy for me
are the only people who
just
don't
care

I guess good things can't go on forever
Today was supposed to be my day.

no one salts my wounds like you
lemonjuice pouring from your eyes
your tongue dripping with expired syrup meant to fill me with ash and guilt

apologies bleed from the aching cuts you made
but you add another skeleton to the closet
and steal away the trusting stars in my eyes
blaming them too

i wish i could look at the sky, but all i see is smoke
from all my fires
you tried to put out with gasoline
worst part: if you read this, you won't even think it's about you
