I missed the rain if one did come. I deleted my ex’s number and hundreds of pictures from my telephone. It hurt to let them go, but it also felt easy, you know, you know. Out of all the boys I loved I thought we’d never ever get separated. But with Juan I feel unsure. I love him but love’s overrated.
I lasted months dry like the desert. I said yes just to keep my mind off things. I opened up hoping it’d get better. And it did.
I love you like a beginner would but do I need you now like I needed you then? It’s harder now and I could use a friend. I don’t have a clue if you’re gonna stay forever by my side. But the urge to give up already keeps me thinking at night. Do I want you for now? Do I wanna take hundreds of pictures of you asleep by me only to delete them later? Or am I ready to memorize and take them to my grave in the heights of what I call the “Grant Mountains”. Only time will tell.
I’ve chosen wrong so many times. Makes me wanna already give up and go back to singing other people’s songs. Can’t write my own without muses, it’s only love that turns the ink in my pen endless.
I love him, but love’s overrated. I need him like a bath after a shower. I want him, but what if we get separated. It feels good. But it used to feel better.
Poem #15 off “Bella Goth”
It’s about knowing that the person you’re with is not your soulmate and struggling to decide whether you should just end it before it ends or go with it.
