When you left me
For the last time
You took a picture of us
I wish I still had
I miss your face
That scar
That somehow
Made you perfect
I wonder if you have it still
I wonder if you look at it
And say how you miss my face
And my freckle
That you use to kiss
We were imperfect
And we fought to love each other
Because it wasn't easy
But we found it in those little things
We found it
Together.

Fifteen To Nineteen

I was engaged at fifteen
and believed I would live my life
Happier than my wildest dreams
I am now nineteen
He left me
I am not happy
I am alone
I have nothing going
I have to remind myself
How much changes in time
I may be broken now
But maybe one day
I can be as happy as I was
At fifteen
With a ring around my neck and hand in mine
As we skipped school
To celebrate a love
We believed was forever.

Intrépide

okay

I don't know if it's a curse
to feel so very deeply

to feel so empty
and very lonely
with the memories
that you have left me

like a tattered story
with no particular ending

to be suddenly left at bay
without knowing what to say
It's kind of beautiful yet sad
to experience this kind of love

Medal of Valor

If you can love someone
Even after they have broken you,
You deserve a medal.

Swollen

Her heart was swollen
Swollen from loving you,

For loving you despite many heartbreaking actions

It was swollen
For those she had lost
For those she would come to love
And those who would leave her like you did

Her heart was swollen always waiting
Waiting to find another heart as engorged as her own
Waiting for the swelling to just go down
Because ****** she was tired of loving and being left

Her love was so pure
How is it that those who love the most
Are broken the hardest.

Questions

What if her womb is always empty?
What if in the end, she is completely alone?

What if she fails at every hope and dream she has ever had for herself?
What then?
What was her purpose?

Bump

Someone knocked into her
And for a moment they saw her muddy brown eyes
And they way the sparkled

They realized that she was alone
But they kept walking
Not apologizing for bumping into her

She rolled her eyes
So use to people not seeing her.

Not sure what this was. Haven't written in a long time
