The thing about loving and OCD is that every tree in the woods has your name carved into its bark Every attempt is misspelt perfectly in calligraphy You’re the most beautiful mistake I have made Note: Never take a nature walk again Remembering to forget you is an impossible phenomenon Like riding a bike Except I never learned how to ride a bike But I do know how to breathe Unless I think about you then suddenly my lungs collapse You were my oxygen, or a necessity if you prefer And my therapist told me getting some fresh air would be therapeutic Like riding a bike in the woods The only problem with this serenity is you took my oxygen away from me You are in everything I once breathed Not to mention I never learned how to ride a bike And every tree has your name engraved An everlasting reminder of the beauty in toxicity

I can’t remember who I wrote this for The thought is applicable to myself now
