i could’ve asked if it was worth it to stay
but i didn’t
because i already knew the answer

“yes, yes, 10000 times yes” i can hear you say
“because you make me complete”
and i do
but that isn’t enough

“yes because you know you love me”
and that’s the problem
because i don’t love you like i love the ground
i love you like i love the sky

and you love me because i stay
so i leave
and let’s see if the ground is there anymore

I was just a misspelled word
you so easily erased
from the notebook of your life.

                  
Now,
how do I ever erase you —
the most beautiful poem of my heart?

cycle in
cycle out

out with the old
in with the new

not a single remainder
and they all say blame her

but that’s why i cycle through
so i can just forget you

i give out my daggers
i give out my pens
but nobody asks how
and nobody asks when i-

i try out my feelings
be a little bit deceiving
and no one sees how i’ve changed
and no one asks when i-

i write the letters
i send out my stamps
but nobody dares ask me how i’ve been

nobody dares to ask when i come home
because how is there a home when it’s just a room and nobody’s there

how is it a life that matters when nobody cares
how do i get happiness when i give out all my shares
and they just don’t care

when i am with my blankets,
i am protected
not because i am surrounded by love
i am alone
but the blankets
make it an alone
that feels okay
this is quite literally inspired by my childhood blanket that i still sleep with to this day

he saw me
7 years later
with natural curls
some uneven tan lines
and a smile that finally fit

we did not exchange words
but a little look
a glance of acknowledgement

his smile was the same
the same hollow around his eyes
just a new ring on his finger

and that little look
had us acknowledging both of us survived
but only one seemed to thrive

i
give
          you
                  all
                        of
                             me
all of my love
all of my humor
all of my looks
all of my interests
all of me
                               you
                        give
                   me
          some
      of
you
some of your humor
not much of your love
some of your interests
not much of your looks
some of you

and I would still give all of me
all of everything
all of anything
all of anyone
for that some of you again.
and we never even dated
