dear basil,

this isn't about christmas,
though i hope you have a good one.

this is about crying.
or more like
how you don't.

i would say i don't want you to
but i know you.
and your eyes are my eyes.
so i need them to cry.

if they won't cry for her
let them cry for me.
cry for the me you lost
cry for the you that you can't find
cry for the person in the mirror
who doesn't ******* deserve this

because you don't.

YOU DON'T ******* DESERVE THIS.

just because your bruises are healing
doesn't mean that your skin is okay.

it's cracking.
you're cracking.

break open.

love,
basil

dear basil,

the past is
not a tattoo

love,
basil

dear basil,

a name is
yours

not the mouth that
refuses to say it

love,
basil

don't forgive,
just forget.

atlas

goodbyes are hard
but staying will be harder
just let go
