i cried when we were together and you held me,
i felt so safe in your arms,
your smell,
your voice,
your life….

-s.r

when you left.
you torched everything.

-s.r

Each relationship
good or bad,
joyful or anguish,
teaches you where you want to be

-s.r

i tried so hard,
and you ran
ran far away from me...

you were my drug,
the withdraws from you burned
burned like fire to my skin...

now you want me,
but i don't even want myself.

-s.r

new love,
what can i say,
it feels so free,
and so smooth,
lets see how it moves

-s.r

you told me I needed you, 
now look where i am now, 
without you

-s.r.

i was wrong…
Being in solitary i drove into my mind,
those months weren’t a waste,
they were a lesson,
to teach me how to love myself and how to be loved.

-s.r

in my safe warm bed
i still think of you
is it bad that i still tear up,
thinking about you, us.

2018.
taught me about you,
and you taught me how to trust again
how to love,
and life in the moment…
2019.
is teaching me how to trust me,
how to love me,
and how to life in the moment without you,
but, with the people who love me.
