#fallingout
the water engulfs my body I don't shake nor shiver, flinch or flee I've come to embrace the cold caress as it's the best that I'll get from you

your favourite colour was blue. maybe it still is, i wouldn't know. but whenever i see that deep shade of blue, that isn't too deep to be navy and thoughts, but also not light enough to be ashy and gentle, i think of you. this was your colour. and i still see you in it.

FALLEN OUT OF LOVE
he broke me more times than i can count, more times than i'd like to say, but i still blame myself. i thought it was all my fault, that i was a bad partner, that i was the reason everything went wrong. i think about him a lot. i think about the scars he's left, the few good memories there were of us, that i loved him unconditionally, his hugs, his touch, his lips, his hair and the worst part is, i miss it.

scars
And I see our friendship Go down the drain The past three years All swept away in one go And I felt regret That I left you this way But I felt freedom Freedom from the cage you put yourself into And you may twitter away How I had betrayed you But you left me first And I never spoke Until today

Ex Friends
so many strangers, falling in love with all the words i’d written for someone who has already fallen out of love with me; honey, i wish you’re a stranger again.

strangers
i hope i kept an envelope of every being that you uttered an envelope that i can return to, someday and hope that most of them are still alive an envelope filled with smiles, sunflowers, and high-pitched laughter

envelope
you stood there with sadness braided to your locks, and i was pretty used to making homes out of sadness, and your eyes — they made me think of both writing poems and running away; i chose the former and you chose to smile; and smiling back felt like jumping inside a book found in the bottom of shared beer bottles, and yet, we read it sober with our fingers touching when we’d turn to the next page and darling, that was how we met. and there we were gazing at the stars wrapped in a sunset; and we named them love written for a wolf trapped in a girl’s skin and a girl dressed in bleeding moonlights and together, we crashed into a fray, unworthy of being written poems about. and i loved you so f*cking much, and even more so because you couldn’t love yourself and darling, kissing wasn’t the most romantic thing we ever did — it was running away from the world and darling, that was how we fell in love. and running away was our kind of poetry, and running away got tiresome after four books and a couple of heartaches. and we ended. abruptly. like an anticlimactic poem written by fading silhouettes atop an abandoned building as the rest of the world caught fire and crashed down. and there you were, a piece of a debris escaping my lips and sinking down, like words in the middle of a poem i could no longer write, and i, a pronoun you could no longer love. and that was how we became ashes without dancing with the flames — how we became a million pieces of broken kisses inside a poem made for two. and that was how we became strangers again, darling — and that was how i lost you.

I wasn't listening I used to love your stories your voice used to breakthrough my ears straight to my heart I used to describe it as smooth calming soothing but now it's just noise weird you asked me what was wrong? I didn't notice I told you I was fine we were at McDonalds and you only ordered fries there weren't any stars that night you held my hand and I held yours god help me tell her I don't love her anymore

“I’m over it,” I say through tears Months pass bit by bit Probably going to be years My words betray me I don’t say how I feel Is this some ****** up daydream? Is this even real? “I’m over it,” My heart’s not committed My room is barely lit Sobbing over words I submitted If being melancholic Was a sort of drink or mix Then by God I’m an alcoholic Bartender, show me your tricks “I’m over it,” I repeat in the mirror I’m stuck in a pit And you can’t make it clearer You told me I would Get over this cliff Honestly I wish I could But I keep wondering, “what if”

Over It
I've been holding back the tears For years and trying to be strong enough to hold this for so long. Try to smile and understand every situation just not to disturb and cause any trouble to anyone. And then that night I burst into tears for I cannot hold it anymore, and then he asked worriedly.. "Why are you crying?" I keep on crying and crying, heavily, I barely breath, then all I can say is, "I don't know if you do understand me" My tone sounds begging for him to finally understand me, the pain he unconsciously putting on me And then he answered, "Babe, I do understand you, I just don't know what to do" Now I don't know which hurts me more, The thought of he does not actually understand the pain that I am going through, Or the fact that he knows about it but doesn't care that much that left him nothing to do

Unprioritized
Do you think it might be time To search deep inside of yourself For the truth? Haven't those promises That always turn out to be Bitter fool's gold Caused enough damage? I settled for silver And I've settled for less From you however I expected nothing but diamonds That's what you get when You place your bet on shining lies Better fit for a ring Than a companion Tomorrow you say Will be the day we start new This time there won't be another call Ringing through your ears Tomorrow is another promise For the collection

talk real
I sigh again, but it is as Though you have become Immune to the Sounds of my discomfort Indifferent to the tears That soak my pillow Late at night Sliding effortlessly Down the ridges and planes Of my face Draped in a thousand shades Of sorrow The shadows dancing on my hollow cheeks. Sunken and demure. Your eyes stare in my direction But my motions don't catch your eye You prefer to ponder, mesmerised, by the faintest Movement outside the window Your brown eyes wide And bathed in sunlight The colour of honey So distinct, But lacking its sweetness Follow the hustle and bustle Of the Parisian streets, As your hand lifts, ever so slowly, from resting on my shoulder, Onto the ledge. You've made up your mind. ~ZA

Parting ways
I'll be where I belong someday. Purple sky, red and green lights, And the California sun rising up when I Need the light the most. I go through another falling out every **** year. No primary and no old people I can go to. Too many mutual idiots who adopt the ones I love and kick me out of the picture. I'll take the photo But I'm not the one who deletes it. My heart and brain are my memory card filled with all the drama-less days of these **** cliques. I can only make myself move on but I cannot make you never exist again. I get we move on but I don't know why I'm picked last. It's either new people or other's who pretend they know and accept the real me. It's just never how it used to be. That's why I'm going to be in California getting away From New Englanders who know me now. Just let me grow first. I suggest You do The same.

Cliques
Go through hell once, try to let go and forget. The others come in, and there's the upset. I'll be the bigger person, that job is done. When it comes to getting praised and credit, there is none. Never knowing our right place. You don't even have to say it to my face. We are smart enough to find out what is said about me and everyone else there is no doubt. But as the days go on, and more is discussed as we say it and talk, we forget who and what the problem is really about. I walk this place alone, no problem there. But you putting this weight on my shoulders creates you into being unfair. There is no blame. I feel no shame. Since I said what I needed and did what I had to do, and I handled with such maturity, discipline, strength and even, I did everything and was very sane. I won the game. However, even if you are still very ****** off and horrified at what I did and if you don't agree, you have no reason to. But I will be civil on you. But for now on, let my decisions be up to me. Where I go shall be seen in my eyes . Perhaps my independence will represent what you heard from the other side. They were lies. False criticisms, endless battles, force, and belief in no point of view but our own. I may have frustration, anger, and obsessive talk, but I have kindness to loan. I have the right to lift off and release this pushing weight. It's about the problem not a persons annoying trait. We all learned from this falling out, even though I never received my apology. I am over this and I didn't lose anything. I can still breathe. You learned so much from me. Now, I understand everything, but I am not sorry. I have words put in my mouth. I have depression in my body and my head. It's time for you to understand the words that I said. Now thank you for noticing how I struggled with this weight on my shoulders. Very heavy indeed. I felt this weight that you all put on me went in and through my muscles and it effected me mentally. It's now your turn to feel it. And take in and accept your doing in this falling out that occurred. You cannot let it push you down, and you cannot let it make you trip. So now, you feel the pain I dealt with. And even though I forgive without any sorrow, I see now, that you get it. I am right indeed, and you know why I did it.
