Pack up your things
Fold your heart neatly into a cloth
Nurse it
Keep it warm
And keep walking
Everything else is just beyond the horizon of your perception
Don’t give up yet
Gemma Aug 2024
Crying into my bathwater
Wondering when it’s all going to end
Wondering what’s beyond the next doorway
And what the journey is going to look like getting there

Your soul and my soul have known each other for a long time
We were placed here
You had to hurt me to grow
And I offered it to you
I offered to feel every ounce of pain for you so that you could grow
I hope it worked

Poke, ****, and scrape
The world doesn’t happen to me I happen to the world

Someone’s wearing a cologne that I’ve smelt and I don’t know where

Im so happy to remove you from everything
To pick you out of every piece of my life
I hope you know I won’t find you between my toes
I hope you know that in a years time you’ll only be a name on paper

I didn't get any signs from you.
I've waited all night looking at stars that I couldn't see.
Have you left me here alone?

My guide,
you are no where to be found
Have you abandoned me?

I'm still here
And I'm trying my best
To find my way past these clouds,
But I'm getting tired.

I'm beginning to wonder if there are no stars at all,
If they were a figment of my imagination;
A dream.

I'm still staring out of my window,
I'm still awaiting your call.
I'm beginning to think you never heard me
Like we've never communicated at all.
