‪Ever felt so emotionally drained that you just... can’t?‬

‪• can’t cry, ‬
‪•can’t sleep, ‬
‪•can’t think, ‬
‪•can’t focus, ‬
‪•can nothing.‬



‪You simply

Can’t.‬
I started feeling again
Happiness,
Love,
Warmth.
For you,
With you.

         I miss you  ♥
cuando la noche
nos cobija, nos esconde
no importa lo que hagamos,
si al salir el sol callamos
la luna y las estrellas
serán los únicos testigos,
que no quede ni una huella
de lo que hemos compartido
‪One kiss.‬
‪One date.‬
‪One text.‬
‪Maybe it’s alright.‬
‪One drink.‬
‪One fight.‬
‪One night.‬
‪Either is just as bad.‬
One text. Two people. Two stories. Three ways to read it. Three verses per person. Three platforms to share it.
Liking him was cool, I guess...
I loved hanging out with him,
Lying on his arm,
Him lying on mine,
Talking,
Being quiet,
Being in company,
Being alone.
How was I supposed to know?
I don't remember writing this two years ago, I bet it has a different meaning now than it did back when I wrote it, I'm sharing it because I feel like it fits something I'm living now and I find it fascinating how life works. The same words of my past have a new meaning today.
I used to admire you
Now I can do nothing
Nothing but fear you
Every time I ask
I fear you'll Snap

I fear your slaps
I fear your screams
I fear your eyes
I fear your presence
I fear your hands
I fear your advance
I fear your words
I fear your arms
I fear you'll **** me
I fear I will
**** you
**** me
**** us
**** both
Not when I'm home, with family

Not when I'm out, partying.

Not when I'm home, all by myself

Not when I'm out, drinking with  "friends"



The bandage is gone,  

Now I can see

I need to learn,

My true friend is me



Not when I should

Sometimes when I shouldn't

Not with the therapist

Not with a crowd

Not with my mom

Not without

Not on social media

Not on the streets

Not in my car

Not in the dark

Not in the light

Nor anytime

Only with strangers

That aren't so strange

I feel like I might

Give life some sense
