It's a letter to my mum, To tell her how miserable, I am. I know you left, Left for good. But I still crave the taste of your food. I know you suffered enough, To get this sleep. But I'm little selfish mum, I too want to sleep. They say I look like you, Talk like you, Behave like you. But how can I tell them, I just need you. They say now you live in me, when I cry, You cry with me. When I laugh, You laugh with me. But I want you to live with me, Not to live in me. This is another letter I'm writing, I know this will never be read. I wish I could cherish you, When we used to cuddle in bed. I know mum, I'm too late, But now I can't, tolerate this weight. I know i deserve it all, But can you please, forgive me for all? You know mum, They hurt your child. Thinking that I don't have my mayi. I know mum, You care for me. So please come back, And save me. You know mum, I'm so broken. No one looks at me, For once. I cry all the night, But no one even, Look at my sight. I know mum, You care for me. So please come back, And save me. Even when I'm burning up, Drowning in the pain for months. No one look at me, For once. Mum, They say I'm acting up. Taking your name, for them to look up. I don't wish they feel the same, Let them be unaware of this pain. You know mum, I can bear it all. Indifference, or taunts they throw. But my heart pierced, at the thought, When they say, I'm the reason, You are gone. Mum i know, You don't blame me, for this. But they all fed, this to me, I'm the reason, You are gone. I'm the reason, You are gone. Mum, I'm sorry, I failed you. You wanted me to live, But I failed you. Just don't hate me, mum. I can bear it all. Just don't hate me, mum, I can survive it all. Mum, I love you the most, But can you please, come home. This home doesn't, Feel the same. As if the walls, Lost their paint. The flowers you had grown, those forget how to bloom. This house feels so empty, So, come back, and fill this home. I'm sorry for the scars, I made. I'm sorry for the trial, I made. I was just tired, mum. I just wanted to be numb. I'm so sorry, Mum. Please take me with you, mum. I'm so tired, to run. Please take me with you, MUM.

I'm sorry I hurt you, I'm sorry you lied I'm sorry for nights when I left your side I'm sorry that I was the cause of your grief Blind to your hurt as I chased my relief I love you. _I love you._ You'll always be mine I'm sorry I made you think you had to hide I'm sorry that two years has made such a rift I'm sorry for all the days I spent adrift I'm sorry that I was the reason for hate I'm sorry my back turned while you lay awake I'm sorry my actions have led you astray Just come back to me, I promise I'll stay

September 22
The day that faded into black, the mist that was thick Tears that fell from the skies, the people on that list I know that I told you , but I promise I'm not lying I know that you don't believe me, but then why would I be crying? I'm sorry that I hurt you, it's because I cared I didn't know who to go for, I didn't know but I was scared I thought I had a purpose, but I guess I'm just tied I promise that I am these things, I promise I didn't lie I don't want the day to fall, because then I will too I don't want to go to sleep, because I might forget you I know that it's not worth it, but where else do I go This world is full of places that even I wouldn't know A place up in the stars that seems to welcome my embrace A world full of colors, and a world without hate A world without torture, and a world without fights A world without words that hurt, the fear of picking sides Up above I could go, right here and now Up above I could go, to escape from these words too loud But fear keeps me in chains, and I know lord: You will question Why I don't let go of it, why I choose to listen And I know you see my scars, and me convinced I shouldn't Believe in you, because I simply just couldn't When in reality, I could, and I could hold them still Even when I'm gone with my grave up on that hill I'll become the night that blew up with color I'll become the connection between two friends, or lovers I'll become the air you breathe, and the water that you drink I'll become the blood that you beat, and the vision that you see And so... Tears that fell from the skies, people on that list With names that dripped from the paper, I've welcomed d*ath's kiss

i don't exactly know why im writing this -- maybe just to say it out loud somewhere. you probably don't even notice the way i look at you. or maybe you do, but you just don't say anything. which somehow, hurts worse. its stupid, really. how a simple glance from you can rearrange my whole day. you laugh and i swear that it sounds like something that i've been trying to commit to my memory forever. i don't need you to like me back -- i think that i just needed you to know the truth. and maybe that's selfish, maybe that's brave, maybe it's both. but either way, im not sending this. ill just keep on pretending its nothing. like i always do.

There’s something about late September that makes me want to text people I only miss when I’m too tired to lie. There’s a moth in my mouth again. I try to sing and it ***** Some nights I rehearse conversations with people I haven’t forgiven. Some of them are alive. Some of them are me. I keep a list of people I swore I’d stop dreaming about. I keep dreaming anyway. I talk to no one like they’ll answer differently this time. I wake up with a wingbeat pressed into the backs of my teeth. I think I’m leaking something no one taught me how to name. It leaves stains on my straws It fogs the mirror before I do. It answers to my voice but only when I’m not using it. There’s something about late September that makes everything feel returned, but not forgiven. I don’t text them. I let the silence say maybe I meant to.

If yesterday had come for you,                I’d mourn forever. If today is that day you leave me,           still I’ll never forget you. If tomorrow already erased you,      then maybe I should retrace it.

Have you already stopped thinking about me?
Dearest Parents, I don’t even know where to begin, because there’s so much sitting in my heart. Some of it heavy, some of it aching and all of it quietly waiting to be heard. I miss you both. I miss home. I miss the feeling of safety I used to associate with your presence. Even when things were hard, I believed, deep down, that love was somewhere in the room. But now… I feel banished. Like I was pushed out from the one place I thought would always take me in. I don’t know if it was something I did, or didn’t do, or simply who I am. But the silence, the distance, it’s louder than any words you could’ve spoken. I’ve been trying to be strong. To hold myself up without the foundation I used to rely on. To believe I still matter, even when I feel forgotten. It hurts. It hurts in the kind of way that lingers, that wakes me up at night, that makes me question my worth. Still, somewhere in me, there’s a small flicker of love that hasn’t gone out. A part of me that wishes you could see me. Not as a disappointment, not as someone to cast out, but just as your child. I’m not perfect, but I’ve always carried love for you. I still do. Maybe you’ll never read this. Maybe nothing will change. But I needed to say it, for me. I needed to let these words out of the cage they’ve been in. With love and sadness, Me

To _JC_, I had no one to tell these things before: When I found myself lost in this world because we weren't _together_, I caught it wandering in another. One where you walked on solid clouds, and I left the comforts of a solid ground. I didn't want to leave because you were there and we were _together_, but bells ring, days end, so I came down. _My feet touched the ground_. Love, _ML_

Dear lover, I've been feeding the white wolf while the black wolf sleeps. The sun sets, and I sleep alone. If I feed the black wolf while the white wolf dreams, would I find you at sunset, at the end of this red string? Love, LL

i finalised my "divorce" today. well, it was a breakup. 2 years together, lived together, shared our cats, shared a life... all that. so yeah, it felt like a mini divorce. and i couldn't help but notice how relatable the song "happiness" by taylor swift is now... _"all the years i've given is just **** we're dividing up"_ he left the house a week ago. today he came by, and divided up our shared things. _"tell me when did your winning smile_ _began to look like a smirk?_ _when did all our lessons start to look like weapons_ _pointed at my deepest hurt?"_ when i first met him, it was the stuff of fairytales - like most relationships. we shared some of the best memories of our lives together. but like all good things, it came to an end. over time, we became stressed with life's responsibilities. we became toxic to each other, and both made terrible mistakes. towards the end, it became the inevitable to end things. _"after giving you the best i had_ _tell me what to give after that?"_ i gave it my all. we both tried our best. it just wasn't meant to be. _"haunted by the look in my eyes_ _that would've loved you for a lifetime"_ how i wished he was the one... given any chance, i would've loved him for a lifetime. i miss him. i miss the life we shared. i grieve for the future we will never have. _"i can't make it go away by making you a villian"_ but just because the relationship failed, it was still extraordinarily beautiful. i hold zero resentment towards him at all. no negative feelings. i wish him all the best in the future. _"no one teaches you what to do_ _when a good man hurts you_ _and you know you hurt him too"_ these lyrics hit me the most... _"there'll be happiness after you_ _but there was happiness because of you"_ goodbye, lover. maybe in another lifetime, our paths will cross again. but for now, i wish you all the happiness in the world. i will always have love for you deep in my heart.

You are my best mistake and if I could go back in time I’d still choose you. All was wrong but felt so right, following you down, struggling to lift you up. I’d make the same mistake all over again over anything, over anyone, I'd always choose you.

You are my unsent message. The cursor blinking rhythmically, With my heartbeat, Waiting, For me to hit send. But I am not ready, And I’m not sure if I ever will be So I left it like that. Unsent. Unseen. Unread. “I miss you.”

Sometimes I want you for me Sometimes I can’t even imagine what may be Sometimes I care And sometimes I don’t want to Some days I love talking Some days I don’t even want to be reminded you exist And although there’s chaos in mind I want you to know that there’s never a day that gone by where you didn’t cross mine.
