I follow all the young women
writing down their pain
to relate

I follow all the young girls
trying to write out a piece of true love

I follow those who dream of perfection

Who want something more
than what is given

true love
It's only a myth
A soulmate you wish for
doesn't exist

I only ever follow the girls
who know the disappointments

the women who are well with heart breaks

all so I can say
yes I feel the same

your words exactly:
"i believe our paths were meant
"to intersect,
"but not to sustain.
"to touch,
"but not to cling.
"to meet,
"but not to unite. "
and i still love you,
despite.
You kind of broke my heart when you told me this, so abrasively, over a warm beer and a shared cigarette at 4 in the morning.
Take care of me
with words and gestures.
Let you lips linger over mine
without stealing my breath.
Hold my hand and
know where you end and I begin.
Sit by my side
and allow room for me to wiggle.
Wrap your arms around me
without swallowing me whole.
Care for me because I deserve it...
Not because you NEED it.

Me
I have 10 toes.
2 ears.
2 legs.
32 teeth.
countless numbers of hair.
10 fingers.
2 arms.
1 nose.
and half of a heart.
Where did my other half go?
He took it.
He didn't just pick it out like when you grab the milk from the fridge.
He plucked it out of me like yanking the thick weeds with roots buried inches deep within the soil.
I remember it was chilly and we were at the top of the ferris wheel and the merry-go-round sang to us and shadows danced on the cement below and the giggles seem to echo through the air forever.
But through all the chaos around us, all that was on my mind was you.
Thats when you reached in and yanked out the left half.
I guess it makes sense cause you took the left and you left and you're right to leave the right half and I am okay.
I forgive you.
But my right half is lonely.
He says, "It is a much tougher job to carry the blood to the all the systems, but it is okay because my atria walls and ventricle valves still work normally.
They still allow her to function."
I guess that's what you wanted. Enough for me to keep living but not enough for me to live life.
See the right half only asks for you to take care of the left half. For they were once one.
They had made plans to one day visit the kidneys and stop by the pancreas even though they knew it wouldn't be systematically correct. The two halves of my brain are telling me to ask for the other half of my heart back because although it belongs to him it is not his to keep. It is the pericardial sacs and all the feelings are feeling but did you want me to feel or did you want me to forget?
By taking the left, I knew it was right and the blood in my body runs slower and my head thinks a lot faster and the left was something I needed not something I wanted. Maybe you needed that half to feel what it's like to love yourself.  These are my numbers. No longer yours.
I can't remember the last time
We kissed
But I can still feel
The weight of your lips against mine

I can't remember the last time
I said I love you
But I can still feel
The words rolling off my tongue

I can't remeber the last time
You held me in your arms
But I can still feel
Your warmth around me

I find myself thinking of you
When I know I shouldn't be

Will there ever be a day
When you aren't always in the
Back of my mind?
Take me for granted..
play with my heart,
as long as you want.

but please don't take my heart
and leave like nothing
ever happened..

I will take back my heart,
and I will never look back
because it will hurt me more..

all the love that I gave to you..
comes from my heart

I will take it back
even if it's already broken in pieces..

I was not your sun,nor your moon.
You were the galaxy that I was mesmerized by.
Every color,every star, and asteroid that made you who you were; I knew like the back of my hand.
I counted all the planet's that surrounded your heart.
The shooting stars that made up your eyes and how brightly they twinkled when you spoke.
I named every comet that made you smile, and all the constellations that appeared on your skin.

Light years away, but even so I could see you.
Although never close enough to be apart of you. I was the void.
The one no one wanted to talk about.
I swallowed everything up to be like you yet I was nothing.
I had no moons and no stars.

All my gravitational pull wasn't strong enough to make you mine, but even then would we really be one?

Where a star once burned now remained a black hole. The light was gone.
I no longer shone.
I was invisible.

i am in a haze today. it is cloudy and beautiful outside. it is also pressing down on my chest and i struggle for air. i wore your shirt to bed last night and it helped steady my oxygen supply. i wish you were here to say my name and speak to me in my native tongue to remind who i am and where i've come from. i'm forgetting everything, slowly. recreating yourself is only good when you haven't done it five thousand times over. i just want to be me now. but how do i become me if there is no you? pick me up from the library and walk me to class. hold my hand and tell me that you will stay with me no matter how grey the sky is or how cold my fingers feel.
