I wonder how many memories I would have to erase

Before seeing your face made me do anything other than smile.
I don't know what's worse

Losing a friend

Or losing someone you had feelings for

I do know

It's hard when they're the same person

And everything you thought you knew about them no longer seems true.

Four days I wrote you

No response

Here I am

Day five

Slapping my hand away from trying again

I don't know why I keep going

Something about you

Seems worth reaching for.

I think I've realized the more poems I write about someone the more toxic they are to me

Here's number 25 for you

I suppose that pales in comparison to the thousands I wrote for my first love but I've known you a lot less time

And you've never even been mine

And that's okay

Because at this rate

You never will be.

I don't know what's worse anymore

Missing someone you once had

Or missing someone who was never even yours.
The best thing you ever did for me

Was break my heart...


It taught me how to be strong alone
And even stronger together.
Too much sleep

Too many R.E.M cycles

Too many dreams

Of course your face had to show up at least once.
