who the **** knows how an alien would view us

terrified, at the awe inducing power
we've wrestled from the world
and the lack of respect we have for it

mortified, at the sheer opulence
we've dug out from the earth
and that the many shall never see

inside, we all know
that anything makes more sense
than a perspective that rung
even neutral

I loved you and you loved me. We loved the idea of us. We walked together, talked deep talks together, we did things together that we both seemed to enjoy, but we were made to be friends and some how our imaginations got the best of us. Our imaginations and fantasies of having a family and building together got ahead of us.  The fantasy of having someone always there even when you're feeling lonely. We entwined our dreams, our feeling to this. An as friends in ways we used each other because we thought what's more and we weren't thankful enough for what we had. We expected things that weren't there and some how we lost the friendship. I wanted you to be there in my life always as my someone to build with, travel with and you wanted use me for  your someone to be there when you're sad and lonely. I wanted to be chosen by you. The thing is we both wanted to be each others first choice and we weren't. An the trust was lost during our mind games, the little things we did to each other. Now we are both at peace away from each other and hope you're getting healing in the right way just as I am. We may never see each other again and that's okay. Love is letting go and letting that person live free as they want to be. An the chapter of us has closed with love, respect, and no more toxicity. 
The End

you're trying to figure out
whether she's really
wearing Gucci,
or if it's a fake bag.

I'm trying to figure out
whether that look
in her eyes is grief
or another sadness
that I have not yet
learned to understand.

you're judging her
because her teeth
aren't perfectly straight.

I'm judging her
based off of the words
that come out from
behind those teeth.

you're hating on her
because she doesn't
wear her makeup like
the rest of these girls do.

I'm loving her because
she has the courage
to stand out, and the
self-respect to not care
if you don't like it.


you're studying her looks,
but I'm focused on her soul.

that's what makes us different.
