Jeju May 2023
you didn't remember my birthday when i told you the first time
but when you told me yours
it was marked in my head
you don't know my favorite color
because you never asked me
but i know yours
it's red
you don't know any of the musicians i like
but i know yours
you don't know how many siblings i have
but i know yours
you don't remember that i'm afraid of relationships
but i remembered every single word you told me
of how people have made you feel less as a human
why do i try so hard to make you stay
when you don't even know
who i am?
when you're not even interested
you just love that i give you attention
how dumb of me to think
you would remember
when
you don't remember
****
i wish you had asked me back everything i asked you
Jeju May 2023
i'm afraid you're going to say no
i'm afraid you're going to tell me we can't
i'm afraid you won't include me too
i'm afraid that everything we did to get where we are
was meant for nothing
meant to be destroyed
i'm afraid that if you leave you'll come back again
for the third time
i keep letting you in
and i shouldn't
but i desire your attention
your voice
and your words
i need you
but you don't need me, apparently
please
i hope you know how i truly feel
and i hope you're keeping track of the small things i tell you
i'm so scared that the moments we shared
are now over
forever
please don't leave- but i also need you to be happy.

you tell me you don't know
you don't know whether to choose between
the friend or the girlfriend
why the **** is your girlfriend a choice
telling me you're bored
so i fed into your entertainment
and you loved it
but that was before i knew
i was going to be the grenade in your lives
i thought we had something special
but i'm not even on your mind
and she isn't even on your mind
then
who are you really thinking of?
if it's not me
or her
what's your new victims name?
denial

i can't stop thinking about you
there.
i said it.
i hypocrite you for lying
when i'm a liar too
when you asked me
"do you like like me"
i said "i don't"
LIAR.
but also
i didn't lie because i don't know if i would ever go through this
with you
i keep sugarcoating how i feel
and who you are as a person
you're actually really horrible
but i also think you're good too
and good always triumphs over bad
would you ever bother to tell me that you
want me
think of me
hate me
and need me
or would i be the only bold one?
because that would ****
a lot
i still want to be with you though
am i in love? or am i confused?

You make me feel crazy
But maybe it's not your fault
Because they made you run away from the truth
Now you're a mother
And you feel the need to protect us
Even the smallest wounds
Because that's just who you are
You and me have the same feeling of when betrayed
No one understands a mother-daughter relationship more
After your escape
You've put so much flames in the air
And I'm glad you found your voice
But you burn me every time you tell
Because I know no one else listens
But when I'm the only one
I can't handle it as well as I used to before
Because I'm not 12 years old anymore

Forgive me,
I need you.
I know the side of you
That you push down.
I shouldn't have lied
You were honest,
But you suffocated me;
You shouldn't have done that;
And I shouldn't have lied.
Even though we lie apart,
I still feel your breath on mine.
I still remember your face and the way you spoke to me...
Oh, how I can still feel that.
Will you feel the same way too?
Do you feel the same way?
How will I know if you're still under the same sky as me?
Can you feel me standing next to you?
Or is it all my imagination and hopes?
How can I feel this to be real again,
When you're not even next to me?

You were too close
Way way too close
I felt you around my neck
Where I should never feel anyone
I did push first
But you pushed harder
And you were able to defeat me
"You'll grow into someone beautiful"
LIAR.
"You'll succeed in life, I believe you"
LIAR.
"I love you"
LIAR.
YOU. ARE. A. LIAR.
I almost died
And in real life this time.
I wasn't dreaming or thinking...
This was real.
What happened was REAL.
"It was your fault / You started it / They shouldn't have touched you / That's embarrassing / This is disappointing"
That's what y'all said
When I almost fell...
Forever
