I thought that maybe if I just kept sleeping
I'd wake up and be who I was again

10 Months Sober Doesn't Mean You Don't Miss It

10 months later
And people assume that I should be done healing
They forget to ask me how I'm doing
They seem somewhat annoyed when I mention you
And maybe it's because they've never had their hearts broken like this

But I?
I have to start all over everytime a holiday passes and it's the first time I'm not spending it with you
I have to start all over everytime something important happens and I have to remind myself that I can't call you to tell you

Every morning I have to start all over because even my dreams don't know how to let you go

Infinite

There is not a limited amount of beauty
In which people have unequal amounts

Beauty is not a limited resource
Which only a few get to enjoy

Beauty is what happens when the heart teaches the mind to love the body that encapsulates them

"We're Just Friends"

I never thought I'd miss you this much.
---
I'm not allowed to miss you this much.

Empty Space

You're the name I'm whispering in my drunken state

I'm the name you're remembering when she's fast asleep

We call out to each other
Hoping that the universe will deliver the message
But it feels something's standing in the way
And I'm just calling out to empty space

Apothic Red

Tonight
I held my pen
Like I once held you

And while I wept over the loss of you
A smile broke through my tears for all that my poetry had to gain

My Taste Will Never Leave You

Oh honey,
Don't you know?
I loved him first
And your lips are simply acting as an eraser on sharpied words

He'll always taste me
He loved me first
