you know
not to enter
my dreams
anymore

you stay away
from my nights
because it is
too painful

to see your face
and hear your voice
but not be able
to hold you

my black lipstick
left smudges
on your cheek

but i could still see
the roses peeking through
when i said
'i love you'
i can't wait to see you again <3
basil Apr 2020
i lick the stars
from your open lips
and a supernova
explodes on my tongue

as beautiful as it is
it shatters my taste buds
until i can drink
nothing but the sound of
your voice
sliding into my mouth

throwing away
all my meaningless
words
hey, i'm deleting quite a few poems. sorry, but i'm trying to find my voice again, and it's hard with all of this clutter of who i'm trying to escape. i'm only deleting the poems i wrote with bad intention.

but if they meant something to you (if you even notice they're gone) then i'll move them to 'unlisted' and give you the link. i need them off my profile, but i don't want to take them from you if you connected with them. even if i wrote them for the wrong reasons.

so. you probably won't miss them, but i just wanted to make sure my stupid decisions didn't hurt anyone but me.

i'll probably delete this poem, too

anyway, i hope you guys are doing well. stay hydrated and wear a seatbelt. breathe. and have a good breakfast <3

i used to think
the wounds
were the worst part.

but it's the scars.
