You.

Hey,
I miss you.
Not that you’d care.
I miss our butterfly filled conversations.
I miss your soothing voice,
The one that could calm even the roughest days.
I miss your laugh,
The one that’d break out,
Even if nothing was funny.
I miss when you called me “mine”.
The place that was filled a while ago.
But hey,
I miss you.

I loved you

I loved you
Because your words
Ran away the ones in my head.
I loved you
Because your warm heart
Melted the ice around mine
I loved you
Because you made me new.
And it hurt when you left.
Because most importantly,
Your touch made me feel again.

Gone

Its been a long time
Since i even searhed for the real me.
Instead,
i’m too busy apologizing
For not being the person I used to be.
I miss her too,
Don’t get me wrong,
But i feel like at this point
She’s too far gone.
I wish i could go back
To the simpler days,
Where the only thing to worry about
Is what song I’d sing on Sundays.
I can’t focus and i can’t see.
Which is why i’ve given up
On finding the person i used to be.

3 words

The three words.
The three words that will pull you back
After you thought you finally outran them.
The three words that will wash your progress away
Like writing in the sand.
The three words that open your wound
When it was finally close to healing.
The three words that heal a broken heart,
But only makes it worse.
I
Love
You.

Broken love

I’m not quite good at these things,
But here I give you my heart.
Well, a piece
At least.
It’s shattered and tattered.
I’m sorry it’s broken,
You really do deserve the best.
You give me your heart,
And you give me the world,
And here I give you
A piece of me.
It’s not as great as yours,
But it’s all I’ve got.
So here,
Have a piece
Of my broken love.

Storms.

The rainy days were soothing.
Those days she prospered.
The rainy days were soothing,
Until the rains turned to storms.
What came as a steady pace
Slowly turned into a thunderous growl,
Ruining everything in its path.
But she told herself:
It’ll pass.
It’ll pass.
It’ll pass.

I hope.

Sweetie,
You’re a sidewalk daisy.
It takes a certain special
To notice your worth
