my advice

let it come.
let it hit you as hard as it may.
let it sting; heartbreak always does...

then let it go;
you are stronger than this grief.

allow yourself to feel all of the feels, but never hold on to them for too long.

I’m still here.

I’m still here.

The poetry isn’t in all these words —
It’s in knowing I survived them.

Holy smokes! Thank you everyone for all of the support! I don’t come here too often so I did not expect this; what a beautiful surprise ♥️

Water

You catch life
one tear at a time
to one day
fill an ocean.

I heard you liked short poems, so here's one for you.

ashes

ashes

a million reminders
that I can't run away from this time
not this time
stuck in the rewind
I replay the day it all changed
Can't I just forget?
Until then --- in the ashes I remain

Όνειρα γλυκά

I fantasize about you
so often
that when I am with you
it feels like a dream

ignored.

ignored.

Why does it always feel like
no one's listening
when I talk?

I'm never loud enough..

thank you.

I have never thanked you,
for the conversations.

I have never thanked you,
for the smile.

I have never thanked you,
for asking me how i'm really doing.

I have never thanked you,
for staying alive.

Thank you,
thank you.

cigarettes

I smoked to fill my lungs
to **** the flowers that grew there
the ones you planted last december
