It's been a while
little lioness Dec 2023
there is nothing quite like the devastation
of seeing yourself reflected in a window
that looks in on a happiness
that is not your own.
my heart feels like it's choking
little lioness Oct 2023
god oh god oh god oh god

please send me somebody to love.

revision;
it's not even poetry anymore... it's prayers.
i'm desperate
little lioness Aug 2023
nobody will ever be good enough for you,
will they?



well,
I'll never be,

just tired of it all

if only love weren't so...

infuriating.

enjoy it.
unrequited
little lioness Feb 2023
your shoes next to mine on the rack,
our toothbrushes in the same cup,
the way I know your coffee order
without even having to ask.


sadly,
the good things never last.
