I love you too much
and that’s certainly a crime
because you don’t love me as much
and that’s my punishment.

Some day
SOMEONE
May come across
THIS.
But until then,
There is
YOU.
And you will
NOT DO
So please,
Put this
MESSAGE
Back where you
Found it.

Goodbyes are the hardest part
Seeing you walk towards the door
I can feel my heart beat in my ears

You are one step from the door
Everything in me wants to yell
Stop please don't leave me

Silently I scream
I knew that even you stayed
Life would never be the same

Your love left long before you did
For months you were just phoning it in
Your love for me was nothing but fabricated

i didn’t know i was bleeding
until i saw the blood d
                                     r
                                     i
                                     p
                                     p
                                     i
                                     n
                                     g
just like how i didn’t know
that you already left me
until i realized
it’s such a long time
and i was still here
staying, waiting

the words
i love you
become trapped behind
my teeth,
it's a phrase so heavy
like the words
i miss you
and sometimes
in the break
before you speak,
i wonder if you're fighting
to get the same words out
as i am

it's become a swallowed
confession,
of an obvious truth
rather than a secret
because it seems so
clear that my world
levels with yours
but i can't explain how
touching your skin
feels like you are the
key because
i was a locked door
until i met
you

where did we go,
were we ever here?
or was it all a dream
