magnetic

i feel like we're magnetic
but you like to switch up your charge
sometimes
you pull me in
and i get trapped
by your lovely
lovely
attractiveness
and just when i grow attached
just when i grow comfy
in the hollow of your chest
just when i grow to love you
all over again
you pull a 180
and push me away
and no matter how far i go
i can't reach you
and just when i start to let go
just when i grow comfy
in the warmth of my own skin
just when i grow to love myself
all on my own
you come back again
and i let you
because i feel like we're magnetic

when i say attractiveness i don't mean that necessarily in the physical sense

Tears

I thought all my tears had dried up
But then you left ,
and proved me wrong

Cemetery

I thought if I could swallow the stars
I’d be as beautiful as the evening sky
I tried one night with fireflies
They burned my throat
Their legs striking at soft flesh
But my skin did not glow
No moon crawled from my eye sockets
I was left with corpses in my stomach
I soon learned I would only ever be
A cemetery

bad poetry

thank god i can’t write good poetry
the best poetry comes from pain and hurt if you ask me
so although i can’t write like i used to
at least it means i’m doing alright

hurting is healing

Love

Love is such a simple word.
People make it seem like it is such a simple feeling;
It is so much more.
Love makes you do insane things.
Love is pain, grief, and sorrow.
Love is also happiness, joy, and you.
You make me smile and laugh.
You make me blush at the smallest things.
You make me want you more and more.
It's you. It has always been you.

i'm getting closer
to being OK
with keeping our love
in my pocket
