Pen
If I had a pen,

On a thin sheet of paper, I would write how the way
Your collarbone curvatures.
I will write about you endlessly.

Until the palms of my hands begin to bleed,
And my entire skeleton will start to ache.
It’ll be a reminder to me that I should have
        tried harder to make you stay.

I should have known, that you preferred bitter black coffee
Rather than tea.

Things were fine just the way they were,
holding hands and locking lips.
Laughing and crying,
feeling every single emotion a human could.

Here in these hands,
lies every stanza, of my life.

His lips tasted of sour wine
a wine that takes the pain away.
A wine that I would drown myself in forever.

My mind wanders
My soul inquires
Am I enough?

"You are the best"
"You're all i need"
 Thats what you said

But is that the truth?
Do you mean that?
After all that happened?

You have said it before,
Before all it happened
Before my heart broke
And here you are
Saying it again

My heart is scared
To trust with its might
To love with its all
For the same thing
To happen again

What is so different?
From then en now?
Please let me know
I want to be enough

once I've been told,
'til these roses turn old
and my earrings tarnish their gold
my hands are what you will hold

since then, gazes went fiery
my palms weren't as sweaty
heart beating like crazy
my eyes were never teary

my poems have seen happiness
oh, dear God, I know I've been blessed
playlists were still sad, but less
calmed my waves with your caress

and in every relationship I've had
I've always anticipated for the bad
but you never made me go mad
and luckily, I was never sad

happiness with you in sight
you made me shine so bright
you embodied every winning fight
still smitten, never something so right

my words cherished you deeply
you might looked perfect, seemingly
my thoughts have suffered politely
made me look dumb intimately

have you realized
that I make zero sense?
because all of these
are written in past tense.

My heart sadly beats;
While in my mind your memory repeats.
Thoughts of sadness and sorrow;
All the love you’ve taken instead of borrowed.
Oh all the thinngs that I would give;
To in your heart forever live.
Days slowly pass;
As your memory longs to last.
Even now knowing you aren’t who I thought;
All the things you said to me wouldn’t be something I forgot.
Now when I look at you I only see a stranger;
I freeze in my tracks like a dear in headlights as if I’m in danger.
Loving you was my best and worst mistake;
Hopefully eventually I’’ll get over the heartache.

Trying hard to forget you
Trying hard not to say your name
Or even remember your smiling face

The pain i feel in my heart is slowly tearing me apart
I don't know how this all started but i know how it will end

I feel the tears falling down my face
Just like how the stars shatter in space
Love ***** sometimes

How many miles left?
Can my tires make it, or have they corded out already?
Am I driving on rims?
Move, please I beg of you, get me there. Take me back where I was when I felt something other than this hollow emptiness that now echoes my marbled halls.
You sputter with one last puff of black smoke. I rest my head on the steering wheel, realizing this Rube Goldberg device stopped working long ago.
I don't care to lift the hood and diagnosis the issue, finding a remedy for your fluctuation.
So I'll just leave you here, with a white t-shirt in the window, but I'm not coming back.
I'm growing, you've stopped. I'm leaving, you're not.

When I was inlove with you, I would always look for you. I would look for you in poetry and in book passages, I would look for you through music and aestheticly pleasing pictures with texts of what I feel about you. I would look for you at night amongst the stars. But oh, You are so far away from me, physically and emotionally. It was to the point where I had to find you in every thing that I love. But, now that you broke me, I try to not look for you anymore. I try to avoid the things I love, just so that I wouldn’t be able to find you. But I still do. It hurts, It hurts too much. The stars don’t shine anymore, that’s how I know, I don’t want to look for you anymore.
From my still, broken heart. These are my feelings. I hope you enjoy them! **
