I remember we once
watched a lifetime movie
and someone slept with
someone, but it wasn't
the right person, (it was
dark) (and unrealistic)
I asked you how you
would be able to tell
it was me in a dark room
and you thought for a
moment and then said

well I'd look for the scar on your
back


and I was confused because there
was no scar on my back. But you
pulled my hand and placed it there
and there it was. No wider than a
dime.

And you smiled again and said
that's how you'd know it was me.

Your hands are not sandpaper
You can't round my sharp edges,
Or scratch away the good parts of me.
Your fingers are not cages
Capable of capturing my hopes and dreams
And tucking them into a dark corner
To be forgotten about
Until a rainy day
When I go searching for them
In every cardboard box stacked in the attic.
Your eyes are not black holes
That will **** me in
And spit me back out
In outer space untethered to anything
So that I may float around
Devoid of gravity
And responsibility.
Your hair is not a net
Which will tangle my limbs
And refuse to release me
Until I submit to your commands.
You are not a strong current
Beating me endlessly
Before sweeping me out to sea
Because I am capable of standing
On my own two feet
And walking up the bank
To dry land
And safety.

I'm sorry your mom is
such a raging *****, I
know that picking
ice-cream is hard and
I would have given
you all the time in
the world. So don't
cry, don't cry, don't cry
because if your own
mother doesn't love you
then
I
will.

I’ll never be enough for me
Until I’m enough for you.
And we both know that will never,
Ever
Happen.

I'd ask you if you're
okay
but I do not want to be
more of a bother
I'll leave you be and
maybe you'll see how terribly
sorry I am

Hurting you is never
an intention I
would make
I told you the
truth when I said
I loved you,
I did
I did
I did

I promised id always
stay true
and darling,
so did you

I use to get lost
in thoughts of
you
but the thoughts of
you have faded
and now im getting
lost I'm someone
else's eyes

You are no longer
my own true
one
and that is why I
must go
we are not friends
nor foes
just ex-lovers

I gave all I could
but it still
was not enough
and I was no longer
happy
with myself and
who I became being
with you my
dear

But darling,
I have high hopes
for you
and there will be another
who could love
you
more than I ever
could

Goodbye,
always and forever

how do we fall out of love?
as if love were a thing to
fall out of, you can't. For
being always kind, always
faithful, then what? If love
is kind and always faithful
then where in that same
sentence do I fall out? There
is no falling out, only things
that get in the way.  How
do you fall out of love, or
is it always there even after
you say it's not? Although,
I've never said It's not.
I never said it wasn't.

is gone.
