I'm so full of

want
want
want

and I'm

thisclosesoclose

to having
my stomach explode from the mound
of

f  e  a  t  h  e  r  s

I've been hiding in it
for over a month
now. I wish you would cut me open
and find them,
because I know only you would
understand
and maybe then we could be okay.

It's just that lately all I've
done is hurt
              hurt
              hurt

and I miss you more than I know how to put
into real words.
I'm not sure how I feel about this yet, so it'll probably change.

My bed feels empty
without you even
though you never
slept here. So isn't
it funny how your
side of the bed
still belongs to you
in a place you
weren't a part of?

Ultimately
I'm mad at myself
for believing
I could have
someone as lovely
as you.

I could have loved you like
a meadow
(forgiving and resilient,
fluttering with your every
word)
but you only wanted a small
amount of solice from
the wreck in your body and
your heart couldn't be
big enough
(couldn't be
soft enough)
for everything I was
willing to hand over to
it.
I don't think I'll ever stop
trying to give every piece
of me to people who
aren't ready to take it but if I have
to continue I would prefer to give
all of it to you. I'm so
scared
to
settle
but, god, if I'm
going to settle anywhere
I would want it to be
wherever you are.

For
some
reason
this rain is
making me
miss you
less
.

I dreamed I was
on your couch
and you gave me
that white blanket
I love and you
played with my
fingers and kissed
me on my temple
just like always
and your eyes
did that little
crinkly thing I
look forward to
when you laugh
and you said,
"I've missed you
so much."
And I woke up
and reached out
to find you, but
I found I was
in my own bed
in my own room
in my lonely apartment.
I don't want to go
back to sleep.

My lungs are bruised from

all this uneven breathing

and I want to hurt yours

until you feel the same way I do.
