because all my heartbreaks hang around my neck like charms on a necklace,
i could easily turn into a noose.

and i try let these worries sit on my tongue until they become soft enough for me to swallow them whole.

but my heart,
my heart is barely beating,
like the hands of an antique clock,
someone forgot to wind.

i know only how to wear this body like an apology.
like i'm sorry i take up too much space.
like i'm sorry,
i don't feel small enough to fit into your hands.
i wear it like a sin.
like a prayer that never feels answered.
like confessions i keep trying to change.
i wear it like a broken commandment,
because i love thy neighbour,
but i hate myself.

MY GOD,
I HAVE INHALED ABANDONMENT FOR SO LONG,
THAT ANY SCENT OF LOVE IN THE AIR,
MAKES IT HARD FOR ME TO BREATHE.
PLUS,
THE TANKS OF OXYGEN ALWAYS SEEM TO BE MIXED WITH A HIGH DOSAGE OF PUSHING PEOPLE AWAY,
AND I WEAR THE MASKS SO OFTEN,
I FORGET I EVEN HAVE THEM ON.
She gave him her heart
he gave her his mind
she yearned for love
he chased after lust

but when they met in the middle
one gave more than the other
temporary pleasure
versus never ending affection

she wanted to keep going
he was waiting for the U-turn
she built a lifetime of laughter
he only lived for the moment

but when its all said and done
and destiny overflows
her purity will reward her joy
his thoughts will torment him

for the loss of his one true love
will leave him hallow
while she overcomes them all
every last piece of the broken nothings
Its not worth the fight, if its not your fight to begin with.
I loved you before you
With love, God.

Kiss my thoughts, not my lips
Stimulate my brain, not my body
Loves connection should be more than just physical

Maybe it was the kiss
that never happened,
that kept us apart

Maybe June will come
in a song
that we never sing

Maybe if I held you,
letting go
would be your excuse

Maybe if didn’t love you
as much as I do,
you would love me a little

Maybe I had to lose
just so
you could win

Maybe I can live with that

*If I were a poem
I’d ask you to fold me up
and put me in your pocket,
then at the end of the week,
toss me in the wash
with the rest of the clothes

And when you find me later,
smudged and smeared,
ripped and tattered into
little unrecognizable pieces,
don’t worry about it,
I was already like that
