When you gazed at my bare body
with your hands on my curves
and called me Gorgeous
instead of hot or ****,
one of my broken pieces
slipped back into place.

I'm sorry I walked away from you dear friend.
I'm sorry I never told you my reason.
Most of all,
I'm sorry your eyes don't allow you to see
just how toxic you are.

Life is short so don't be afraid of living.
Go on wild adventures and make stupid mistakes.
Kiss the person you've always wanted and attend your senior prom.
Go cliff diving and dance in the rain.
Watch the sun rise whenever you can and tell those special people you love them.
Life is short so don't be afraid to live.

laying in bed all alone
while night seeps through window sills and door frames
a sea of never ending darkness
the silence is deafening
as thoughts race past
eventually blurring until
only one remains
why won't it stop
craving any answer
frantically grasping at
what sanity is left
sleep suddenly knocks
at the door
begging to be let in
I need to shut my laptop and go to bed.

At times I have to stop and convince myself,
If you love her, you wouldn't have picked me.

Today the sky is lifeless,
the trees are barren,
and the world feels too quiet.
The sun is nowhere to be found,
no birds are singing,
even the wind is tired of blowing today.  
My body aches to be buried in a pile of blankets,
a warm place where no responsibilities can be found.  
Nothing sounds better than allowing my heavy lids fall shut,
forgetting about the long list of "to do's" sitting on my desk.  
Today, it has been extra hard to exist.

Dear Other Half,

Here is a thank you for all you've done for me.
Thank you for the endless smiles, laughter, and memories.
Thank you for all the times you've forgiven me after a pointless argument, or after I've gotten on your nerves.
Know that I am grateful for the late nights,
the soul wrenching discussions,
and for all the times you could have walked away and didn't.
Here's my promise to love you unconditionally, care for you like no other, and do everything in my power to see you happy.  
I will never be a perfect person.
All that matters is that I'm perfect for you.  

xoxo - R
