i've learnt
how fragile the human mind can be
it shatters at a single thought
but strengthens when threatened

i've realised
how easier it is to breathe
without you occupying my thoughts
and intoxicating my lungs
with your scent
i've missed it so

i've accepted
that i could never be wholesome enough
for you to love
that you could never open up
to the poison laced between my words

we are worlds apart
and i'm slowly pulling myself together
to acknowledge that we'll always stay that way
