What burned brighter
The orange flame rising from
the evening lamp
Or in the backdrop
the setting sun in its orange home
Both wore a warm glow
The journey
Beginning to end
Some dark and lonely days

    I want to run away                                  

And find a lovely place

Want to go somewhere                            

With freshened golden air

Where no one knows my face                

Drink wine in noontime sun

Where I don't know anyone                    

And learn to be okay

With being not okay

I spill my emotions
I express what I feel
I disguise my pains with words
I distill my words to bits
Fit for you Instagram feed
On your tiny glowing screen
And you call me an IG poet
sometimes
i find no words
i find no rhyme
pouring all my hurt
in a leftover bottle of wine
I don't worry as much,
which is strange to me.
I'm not constantly thinking about you,
and that's probably a good thing.
You were my best love,
and it's okay that we're just friends.
I don't hurt anymore,
I've given in to the numbness within.
Come to me
Come with me
I won’t ever let you go
Season through season
As the leaves die
And as the flowers grow
Walking alongside you
I’d believe anything
If you said it were so
