It’s scary as hell how last week you held me
right before I said goodbye,
and in my head I was screaming ‘I love you’
hoping so badly that you didn’t see it in my eyes.
Because I know it’s too soon for such weighty exclamations,
and the last thing I want to do is scare you away,
but you make my mind race and my heart ache
and the soles of my shoes always seem
to point in your direction
the way a plant grows toward the sun.
You are my most significant source of light.

Today you told me you were scared.
Because you like me so much,

All I could say was "i know that feeling"
because even though I've given up on impending forevers
I'm doomed to believe that forever would
best be spent with you.
You won't read these words for a long time
because it won't be the right time, for a long time
I'm just fast forwarding because
my heart doesn't know patience,
my heart knows bed sheets and now, now, now.
Rushed beginnings and painful endings.
You are neither. You are kind and respectful,
and won't pass boundaries, even though realistically
I never set them. You are a new kind of amazing
and it is exhilarating.

i thought to myself
about how cold my
fingers were and I
tried to think of at
least one person
that I wouldn't
mind holding
hands with
and it's still
you, it's still
you ******.

"I miss you"
“I’m sorry”

“It’s okay…”
I’ll just sit here and break
over and over again

Because it isn’t. 

It isn’t okay.

It wasn’t okay yesterday, 

It wasn’t okay today, 

And it won’t be tomorrow either.

How you left me is not okay. 

Everything was right 

The lust 

The laughs

The love 

Everything was going so well. 

You were supposed to fall in love with me!

Yes. Splendid. Love. 

But no. 

You left me.

Stranded. 

Not knowing any sense of direction,
and having no idea what I did wrong.


I wish you would of just told me. 

I thought you were going to be that one person that didn’t think
I was a freak like everyone else. 

I really thought you were going to be
different. 

I thought you were going to
save
me. 

But obviously I thought wrong.
Because you’re gone.

And I miss you.


But it’s okay.

There are a lot of things I ought to feel guilty for,
but being happy isn't one of them.
So why is it that after four years of hating myself
I feel bad for having the slightest bit of self-esteem?
Maybe it's because the people I used to suffer with
are still suffering.
Things aren't getting any better for them,
and there is nothing I can do to fix it.
Or maybe it's because I did nothing to earn this bliss.
All I did was move to a new city,
surround myself with new people,
and turn into a brutally honest *****.
I never meant to become so cold.
I guess I was just sick of being told
that I was too ******* passive.
I hated being passive,
being nice to people who I secretly loathed,
being the girl with the bright hair but the dull personality.
Yes, I have changed,
but I have transformed into a person that I kind of like.
So why do I feel so guilty?
