You planted a garden in her heart
But then you left...
You left the garden unkempt
Vines and thorns left growing

Thorns ***** her skin,
vines entangle her mind,
wrapping around her neck,
she gasps for air

But there was no one,
no one there to save her.
She was alone,
suffering, slowly withering

You left me empty like the vacuum of space
Each portion of me aching to be filled
But instead, my insides felt like barren planetary bodies
Loose red soil provides no nutrients
All life ceased to exist long ago
Everyone dreams of being the first human feet on mars
But I wish only to terraform my broken heart

I’ve never had a boyfriend.
Not even close.
But that has never stopped me from wanting one.
I use to think I needed one.
Like how could I possibly go through life without a guy by my side?
But here I am at 24 (almost 25) and still no one is around.
But now I realize that I never needed one.
I didn’t need one to make good grades or get my degree.
No that was all me.
I didn’t need one to go to prom.
And that’s because I didn’t want to go.
I didn’t need one to break my heart.
No. I could do that all on my own.
I wish I could fix my broken heart myself but I can’t.
But I still don’t need one to fix my brokenness.
God is fixing my broken heart.
I’ll let you know when He’s finished.

My pockets
Miss your
Hands.
I cant keep them
As warm as you
Did.
I miss you too.
