you said,
“this doesn’t mean i’ve let you in again”
what i didn’t say was,
baby i think i never left
latifeh Apr 2016
I wish
my brain
would
shut **up

it was either
leave you
or love you to death
and I wasn't ready to die,
*yet

I've been having to catch my breath
a lot these days and it makes me wonder
if the reason is my holding it in
these past two years,
but it also makes me wonder
if someone has been taking yours away,
which makes me wonder
if I want to be breathing at all

i thought you loved me

maybe we needed
to hurt each other.
maybe we needed
to hate each other.
because maybe we needed
to see that for us,
there is no other.
only we can heal each other.

I love you so much
I can’t find a perfect song
latifeh May 2016
I didn't know
you could miss someone so much
that your heart aches
and it hurts to breathe
hurts to speak
I didn't know
you could love someone so much
that hearing their voice
is the only way
to calm your breath
and tame your heartbeat

even half the world
broke out in wars
when ours began

it’s like everytime my heart is about to leap for you, it free falls instead into an abyss of your lies

there's a certain type of pain
that leaves you helpless, hopeless
I can withstand any pain
just not this type
not coming from you
on the phone last night
latifeh Mar 2017
you made the sky cry too
latifeh Feb 2018
I love you
but I don’t hate myself

the night that never happened
what a blur
the morning that never came
what a blur
the clarity that never followed
what a blur
your love
what a blur
latifeh Apr 2016
I wish minds
could be read,
so you'd know
what you've done
to my head.

— The End —
