my
oh so faint
memory of
you
doesn’t give
justice
to
how much
i want to feel
your embrace
tonight.
to the person i dated for roughly two weeks, i miss you and im glad you found someone who’ll enjoy that warm embrace of yours.

i’m just glad we’re friends now and could cheer you on with your life from afar.

i wish
i could
stop
the hands of time,
thank him for a moment
as i shake his hand
knowing
that everything
that had happened
was according to schedule
and he won’t stop
ticking
as i
move
forward.
thank you

if only
i had noticed sooner
that silence
was trying to
befriend me all along,
i wouldn’t have
numbed my ears
with screams.
hello , silence. it’s been a while.

‪you broke my heart‬
‪multiple times ‬
‪it turned to dust;‬
‪to ashes.‬

‪i scatter them‬
‪unto the sea‬
‪which i formed ‬
‪using my tears‬

‪slowly adding‬
‪more sand‬
‪to the shore.‬

i’ll keep writing
not because
i’m not okay.

i’ll keep writing
because
it’s okay to feel this way
and i know
my words will reach
those whose pain
are far greater
than mine

— and they’ll feel the same way
soon enough.

let’s
drink
until
everyone
gets
drunk

i
stopped
asking
how you were
when
i
started
asking
how i am
and to answer my own question, i’m okay.
