I never could express
how great it felt
to be with one
who made me feel
like myself.
Who put a smile
on my face,
to make me laugh
until it aches,
to make me shine
just like the stars
but all that's left
is all these scars.
And now it's gone.
And now I'm left
feeling haunted.

I stayed.

Your words dripped honey.

Even though,
your actions dragged like knives across my skin.

I spend too much time in my room
Too much time alone
Left with nothing but
Silence and the voice in my head

I water my plants until they drown,
and this is the only way I know how to love.

then you promised
to stay
at my darkest
nights
but when the
morning came
and when the world
saw us,
you left me.

When good intentions and deeds are pulled like common weeds, the dismissed, like forgotten flowers past their day. Weap, because they were beautiful once and someone was happy to see them daily
