this love that we share
transcends
any stuttering ****** *****
sophia, I used to say I loved you with all my heart
but then I decided that hearts are *******.
whoops I slipped and fell and found myself writing another 10w. I give up.
you spent an hour alone in the pouring rain
fifty degrees and dropping
waiting, waiting
blocking out the chaos
with those borrowed grey earbuds that bruise your ears

maybe you wanted someone to see you
and ask why

or maybe you just wanted pneumonia
no matter what I do with it
i still have the blisters on my index fingers
and the rope burn on my thumbs
to remind me of my mistakes

and I'll thank them for it every ******* day.

you always loved yourself more
than you could ever love me
it's pronouced made-lin, not made-line.
in the same way i hate myself more than i could ever hate you.

You tend to come to mind
At night
Like an idea
Like creative writing
Like a wildflower growing through
My concrete thoughts
Blossoming in my hands
Sometimes seeding into my dreams
Where I would like to keep you
For simplicity

we would rather run than sleep
rather go hungry than eat
rather hurt than love
rather lose than

admit defeat
