ouch
i found this in my drafts just like this, and there's a lot i could add but this really sums it up

i can scream my voice raw but the waterfalls won't bring you back
is this ocean current strong enough to take me to you?
comfort isn't comfortable anymore
singing doesn't taste the same
if i use the ouija board in my attic will you tell me your whys?
slide your fingers in between mine, pretty ghost
so i can remember what it felt like to be alive with you
what's heaven like? or is it all hell?
no, you must be in heaven because it's hell here without you
i don't blame you for seeking asylum
i don't blame you for leaving me behind
i don't breathe the same
two days is two years when your heart is raw with missing someone
can the psychic on the corner bring you back?
neon lights for an iridescent soul
the sunset tasted like your name
wait for me up there, out there
for you, kind angel

like a flower wilts
in winter, you will not last
depression's cold frost
poetry may not bring back your friends but it keeps them alive in words

I'm a liar, I'm a hypocrite, I'm alone and I'm defeated
I'm a sad girl with a sore heart and you're everything I've needed
I'm so ******* sorry and I feel so ******* guilty,
I'm sorry that he kissed me (I wish that he had killed me)
I'm sorry that I kissed him back and I'm sorry that it'll hurt you
I'm sorry I was mad when you told me you'd kissed her back, too
I'm torn and I'm ashamed for the ****** mess I've made
But most of all I'm sorry for thinking this would be an even trade
I'm a weak girl with crumbling walls that thought she could fix your heart
I'm sorry for only tearing you further apart
hey I'm rhyming for once!!! shame it was under these circumstances :/

& there was a lamppost, of course, because we met in the dark on the first night we kissed and it's only fitting that we met in the dark on our last night, too.

i waited until i got in the car to cry (i've never wanted to let you see my weakness) (nothing changed, nothing changed).

you are a heartless robot, only capable of judgment and anger and superiority. but maybe i wanted to give you a heart for all of those reasons.

it was bad and it was good, it was illumination and it was pitch black, all at once. my feet felt light but my heart felt heavy and my ears felt sore as you listed the whys and i asked the whys.

i could literally never hate you, but i sure have come close (your sweet talk and sugar kisses have pulled me off the ledge before, but this time i walked away on my own, content in my "it's not that i don't like you, it's that i don't like the things you've done to me" exenut)

part-time lover and full-time heartbreaker, i feel no twinge on my heart strings as i watch you walk away this time
using hellopoetry as my own personal online diary lol but I recently got much needed and long overdue closure with a boy that broke me and I feel like a ****** daisy :)

I found god again
In the way my feet move in my sleep,
Like I'm accelerating and braking on the roads that'll take me to you.

I found god again
In the way your eyes get heavy and tired,
Blurry on my phone screen,
Your smile insisting that you're not too tired to hang up because this is all we have.

I found god again
In the way this distance is crippling but our faith in us steadies the hands,
Holds us strong against the current.

I found god again
In the way the wind kisses you,
Even when I can't,
In the way the wind carries my prayers
Across the miles and rivers and mountains and forests.

& I found god again
In the way you care
