even though it's been over a year since my heart was ripped out, I still wish it would be you to stitch it back together.
I don't want some guy who's name I don't even know stitching it back together after I've drank so much my head spins, but that's normally how it goes.
a new boy told me he liked me today and since he smelled like you I almost kissed him.
but if I would have kissed him, his lips wouldn't mold to mine like yours so willingly did.
sometimes I can swear I can still feel your fingertips tracing my thighs.
my fingers still aren't very sure how to grasp things because they still want it to be you I'm grasping, not the toilet bowl I'm throwing up into after a night of drowning my sorrows in *****.
my thoughts still echo your name, but I can't tell whether it's from me missing you so dearly, or from me wanting to strangle you for cracking me in half.
I think about how we knocked the pictures off the wall when I pushed you into it with lust, and then we laughed so hard that we ruined the moment so beautifully.
sometimes I think I can hear your voice in the blanket you gave me after I told you I couldn't sleep without your arms around me, which then causes me to start weeping and shout your name into it which somehow still smells like you.
I've washed my hair over 300 times, but I still can't seem to get it to go back to the way it was so now it's still as tangly as it was that Saturday morning, and still smells like your pillow and cologne.
the butterflies in my stomach turn into piranhas whenever I see you, and they rip apart my insides and it leaves me bleeding for days.
I still think about that one time when I woke you up at 2 am when I called you sobbing, and you picked me up and we drove for three hours because you thought I'd rip my veins out even though I'd been so good for so long.
my dad asked me if I wanted him to paint over the writing on my wall from when we'd been together for a year and you wrote that you'd love me forever, but I told him no because it's all I really have left of you anymore.
you grew daisies in my heart and watered them with your kisses and love, but now there's just dust left from the tornado that ran across my insides the night you left me.
I remember when you told me it was over and I collapsed on the sidewalk where we had out first kiss, and I screamed at the moon swearing I was going to die that night.
I told myself I was going to close my heart and close the box of butterflies so my love for you would die.
I closed it. there is no more heart. and there are no more butterflies.
I wish I could say these things to you, but since I cannot, I will write it into a somewhat good somewhat bad poem.
