Years gone by
Tears fell down
So many nights
I stayed awake worried
Didn’t know what to
Make of it
Not one word
Not one call
Not one visit
That’s in the past now
I don’t know how
To process this
Why?
I cried for years
Felt rejected
Felt not enough
Lost all confidence
It felt like a nightmare
Now 20 years
It’s come to words
Never understand
Why you left
I’ll never see you again
Miles apart
But you will stay in my heart

my deepest darkest secrets (part 1)

a secret im too scared to share with anyone
except random strangers on the internet:
i wish i had an eating disorder.
i would be sad
but at least i’d be skinny.

im sorry.
i really am.

im sorry im sorry im sorry

Espoir

I plant my prayers in silent ground,
Water them with words unsound.

The stars fade, the hours drift,
Yet still, I wait, my hands unclenched.

If time must steal, let it restore,
What once was lost, return once more.

No cries, no chains, no last despair,
Juste attendre et espérer.

Let me love in peace

Drowning in an abyss of comfort
Disrupted by the misfortune of chaos

when you left

Mrs Timetable

when you left

when you left
you took the color with you,
and now the world
is like an old television set,
with muffled sound
that grates the ears,
and a picture
that cuts in and out,
filled with static,
in brilliant black and white,
that's made more of shades of gray.
did your world get more vibrant,
when you de-saturated mine?
or did the color
disappear entirely;
slipping out of your fingers
to be consumed
by the void
where my heart
once lived

The Pain You Left Me With.

The Pain You Left Me With.

I twiddled my thumbs and held my breath
As I waited for your sweet voice to call my name.
I ached for your warmth just being there, laying there, sitting there.
I listened to music you loved hoping the melodies
would connect our souls.
I smoked to see if the fumes would sway for me
The way they swayed for you.
Your silence was deafening
It burned holes in my conscience
I filled it with messages and songs you left me with.
The pain you left me with.
