Your not mine

and you've made it perfectly clear that
you don't want to be

but the bit that hurts the most is
you not even someone else's.

You still might break my heart
You have a lifetime to do it.

do you write her poetry or
did you let that part of you go too

i change you in my writing,
from present tense to past

i change you in my writing,
but only to make you last

i change you in my writing,
to remind me that it happened

i change you in my writing
because your the only thing that matters.

Clock strikes twelve

I stare at my phone
Messages piling in
Of the same words

“Happy new year”

From friends, family, exes

And then... you

“Happy new year Leah”

And suddenly my new year is no longer happy

Because you don't bring me joy,
just pain.

- leah

I didn’t think that you could get
used to someone’s abscene.

But here I am getting used to yours.
