I wear you every day.
A delicate fabric that can tear at any moment.
I can’t give you away,
you’re sewn into my skin.
But
maybe
I can layer you
with a new coat material,
fresh warmth,
strong lining,
bold buttons,
that tie our seams together
so nothing can rip us apart.

You were always loving me "despite"
I needed you to love me "because"

your name is
forbidden in
my mouth
or in my heart
because when
i think about
you;

i'll cry a little more,
hurt a little stronger
love a little softer
because you no longer
make me feel sober

i'm drunk on the
memory of you
if only i could chase you with pizza but shots don't work like that

If my body could speak
What would it say?
Would it be proud of me or ashamed?
I hope it won't complain about the way I treat it
But who am I kidding
I know I deserve it

I hope it'll give me a chance to at least say sorry
I really want to say that it doesn't have to worry
But
We both know with me it's not the case
It keeps me alive
And I treat it like a waste

You ignore me for days
And I start to go insane
I catch myself looking at my phone hoping you would text me way more than I should
I try to convince mysef that you're the bad guy and It's not my fault
But it's not that easy when I love you with all of my heart and soul

You don't appreciate me at all
You can't bother to pick up the phone
You hug me only when you need to feel loved
I start to think you don't even LIKE me at all

But wait, you get mad when I don't have the time?
When I'm too tired to kiss you goodbye?
When I put myself first, even  before you?

How dare you
I don't know why I let you call me your Boo

All these poems we write about this one specific person.... endless words, endless hope.
Endless dissapointment.
