She remembers a man
Sordid and strong
Self righteous
Vicious
Contentious
Wickedly wrong

She remembers a man
Strong yet insecure
Vulnerably pure
Self deprecating
Thought provoking
Full of so much fear

She remembers two men
One angel
One demon
Caught in the insanity
Of two men that were the same
two men that were the same
letters to basil Dec 2020
dear basil,

this isn't about christmas,
though i hope you have a good one.

this is about crying.
or more like
how you don't.

i would say i don't want you to
but i know you.
and your eyes are my eyes.
so i need them to cry.

if they won't cry for her
let them cry for me.
cry for the me you lost
cry for the you that you can't find
cry for the person in the mirror
who doesn't ******* deserve this

because you don't.

YOU DON'T ******* DESERVE THIS.

just because your bruises are healing
doesn't mean that your skin is okay.

it's cracking.
you're cracking.

break open.

love,
basil
this.... this one is for me. but maybe... maybe it's for you too.

If you knew how deeply I love you
Amount of pain you have made me bear
Would fall to your knees in tears
Full of regret that you pretended to care
You may care a little but not like I care about you

this was an accident

before we started
dating.

we got matching sweaters!

here's

the catch

though.


two matching sweaters
two people dating
a couple.

but,
two different countries.

i have my sweaters,

to remind me

of you.


when i miss you the most

when i need you the most.

ill just
put in on and think about you.
two sweaters
that may never touch.

Here you go again hurting me once more
Here you go again breaking my heart and letting it shatter
Here you go again telling me I was your everything, but treating me as if I was nothing
It’s so ****** how you waste love  
It’s really ****** how you waste my time, energy and emotions
I can’t deal with this any longer
My heart cannot take any more of this Hurt

I hope you never come back
I hope you never reach out to me again
I don’t want you anymore
I don’t love you anymore
You’re done
You’re history
So this is goodbye
It’s too late for your apologies
I will not allow myself to be hurt by you again
*Waste Love by Machine Gun Kelly
Her *******, voluptuous and heavy
His breathing, shallow and fast
Their bodies entangled in a mess of lost limbs
Two lovers keeping themselves warm through the winter

His arms, tattooed and tough
Her neck, ringed with bruises from a former abuser
A night of frenzied madness somehow construed as passion
An escape from a life of mundane expectations

Her voice, soft and melodious
His touch, gentle yet commanding
Their short term union causing long term confusion
Two lovers present in the magic of the moment
two lovers escaping

do you ever have
two poems
running through your mind
at once
and you can't decide which one to write down
and you cant write them both because they're happening
AT THE SAME TIME
and by the time you write one you'll forget the other
but the time taken to try and decide
makes you forget both
