I can only pour so much
Of myself into you
You say I'm half empty
I say I'm half full

It's hard to stay gentle
When you've been so cruel
I say I'm in love
You say I'm a fool

Anger Issues

He told me he’d take care of me.
The only person he couldn’t protect me from
Was himself

Serendipity

Rotting

I am rotting
and poetry falls from my hands
like leaves
from a hollow tree.

Found this one in my drafts. I am much better now, but I will post it as a momento to the old times.

Pages

Press me against you
Like flowers in a book

hum

In the quiet
hum
beyond the
sky of her
mind
like droplets
of rain
fall stories
and
rhymes

you treat me like a burden but your lips say that you love me

if you really loved me
you wouldn't do this to me
you wouldn't throw all this weight
on my shoulders
when you know that
what I already carry
is heavy enough

i have so so so much to post here but i'm gatekeeping a lot of pieces idk i have ideas for them anyways here’s something i wrote back in may

giving

give my dreams for somebody else
to make them come true
I'm too paralyzed by my fears
they'll just rot with me
till my death and doom

I wish I was braver

anyways this is my 30th published poem :)
