I am waiting
for the memories to fade,
like shadows in the night,
as even we could not last,
through the dark times
as you walked away.

Our hearts burned colder,
our thoughts went astray,
the rift grew wider,
until nothing remained,
but our weary souls
and tear stains.

Sometimes I think do you miss me too?
Or just something warm to lie beside?
Do you really care or is my mind a burden to you also?

Using abbreviation to show some form of positive interest, hello kitty bandaid on a fracture.

Are you truly “flat stick” or would you rather spend your time without me?
Do you actually feel bad that I always make the plans, that I’ve outlined my needs and you haven’t fulfilled the “order”?

Are these demands or communicating needs?
Do I even exist on my own or am I an accessory to your life?
Are you the main character in the movie of me?

Like Toy Story but in reverse.
I am only animated when you are around.
When you are gone there’s nothing behind my eyes but buttons and wear and tear on my sleeves and knees.

Flowers are for achievements, sorry’s or losses, not because I might deserve some thought or beauty.
Maybe because everything I touch decays.

If he wanted to he would, so what does that mean for us?

You don’t want to?

I’m not worth it?

It, being the thoughtful actions, not gifts or monetary things

But plans

Something to show me I am cemented in your future

Creations

Something to show me you think of me even when I’m not there

Beauty

Something to show me you think of me as such

Trinkets

Something to show me you, really. Know me.

Something to show you want me

To show you miss my warmth in the bed beside you

Something to say you really care

Something to say I am not broken

I am whole

I am worthy

And something to say that you miss me.

him
when i talk back, do you feel the rage
a storm inside, a tightening cage?
would you strike, would you scream, let the fury begin?
or is that your father, staring within?

i see the shadow in your gaze,
a past that lingers, sharp as blades.
the echo of him, cold and grim
tell me, love… are you just like him?

I feel like I'm carrying a lot.
No. I know I'm carrying a lot.
I myself can't seem to handle it all,
So is it fair to expect someone else to?
Is it fair to the one that'll claim to love all of me?

I tried it a few times, this love thing
I ended because "I have too much going on" they said.
Yeah I know.
I know this part of me wasn't included in the contract when you signed up
So I let you go without a fuss

Is it fair to put someone where I don't want to be
Is it fair to want someone to be here with
I'm scared for them, I'm scared for me.
But I tired and don't want to be alone anymore
So I tried the casual thing, but it's never casual when it comes to the matters of the heart
How can the already broken be broken.

In the end, if you’d just think to think before you
Speak
You wouldn’t’ve done a thing
Or hurt a person
Unfortunately, we don’t always get what we want
As shown by today
Not
Being a snow day, and so
You did it. You did the thing
And hurt a person. Multiple persons
I guess it’s just expected
You’ll be accepted
And forgiven
Again
&
Again
I walk toward the door
Lights getting brighter by the second

'i was hoping youd stay'

I
Hesitate.

only for a moment.

and then i am gone.

when i think about that day, i wish i had stayed
closer
to
you.

i wish i had hugged you tighter...

i wish i had said more than 'goodbye'


i wish



we





hadnt



grown














distant.

a poem for a friend. even though he will never see it.
"I love you"

I love you more

"I miss you"

I miss you too

"We need to talk"

What did I do?

"It's me, not you"

Is it really?

*no response
I thought they loved me

I know I’m a disappointment—don’t say I’m not.
You gave me trust, and I let it rot.
I see it in your eyes, even when you smile,
That quiet hurt you’ve been hiding for a while.
You tell me it’s okay, but we both know the truth—
I’m the burden you carry, the bruise beneath the soothe.
I just wanted to make you proud,
but here I am—still failing you.
And in your silence—i fail myself too.

Never a day has passed

that my heart did not break
as our Sun hides behind Earth.
When the dawn wakes
lids separate, I stretch and yawn
Another shift sifting mirth from dearth
Holding together this disparate ache
If you're reading this, I love you
