To an old Lover,

My dear, you might think I forgot about you completely
But you never knew every starry night, I open the gate of your voice to tell me stories that never existed.

It’s been a while since the last time we spoke. 10 months is not a short period of time. How did not lose control of yourself during this time...

I heard that you were looking for someone new to take over my place. I am sure you found one anyways. Just hoping you are happy with her.

The amount of time a person takes to get over someone, especially someone like you. Oh god knows how many laughs you’ve taken away from me.

Happy couples around me, that could’ve been us but you chose to walk away because you didn’t want to try anymore. It is okay, I wouldn’t try much if I were you.

Days I get up on my feet and day I catch myself wiping away those tears. Ah I wish I was as strong as you and just walked away.

Did you know that this
smile only exists when
I'm alone with you

11:06 PM
9/12/20

we are nothing but ghosts
yet you've stained me
like red lipstick
on fresh white linen.

Numb from the pain of a thousand cuts,
all over her skin, down to her bones.
Blinded by the blood-stained cloth
tied around her head, covering her eyes.

He then came, with a beating heart on his palm—
a remedy he thought she needed.
He bled to revive the polluted ocean
submerging her soul.

But as she screamed for oxygen to breathe,
she unconsciously dragged him below
until he drowned beneath her tears.

Too late for her to realize,
he devoured the night just to give her daylight.
