God I miss you; I miss every bit of you
But I have to let you go
Goodbye to the boy with soft fluffy hair and golden eyes
Goodbye to the boy I would’ve stayed up to any hour to be with
Goodbye to the boy who made me feel more than I ever have before
Goodbye to every piece of you that cared and every piece that ran from me

Goodbye to the boy with the angelic voice
Goodbye to the boy with the strategic mind
Goodbye to the boy who always knew how to hurt me
Goodbye to the boy whose smile made it better
Goodbye to the boy I cried for
Goodbye my love who never quite was “my” love
I’ll see you again one day
Not super poetic (nothing I write is), but I wrote it as an exercise to let go

Someone once told me I’m “too kind for this world”
Many would agree with this statement, for that’s the only side of me they’ve ever seen

One girl knows the truth, however
She knows I’m not kind at all
She knows that being around me is a risk

My anger could explode
Any second now
Like an alarm clock rapidly ticking
When will it ring?
She never knows

But when the clock finally chimes
She knows who will bear the force of it
She knows who will withstand my fury
It’s always her

She’s steady as I berate her
But I see the hurt on her face
Clear as day to me
Carefully masked with a snarky expression
She doesn’t want me to know it stings
But I do
And yet I continue

My poor little sister
I am terrible to my younger sister. Just now I blew up at her again. She deserves so much better than this but I can’t figure out how to stop altogether. I get better for a while but bad habits die hard

“I’m in love with you,” he says in a dream
“I won’t leave you again,” he whispers in a haze
“I’ve always cared,” he breathes in a fantasy
“This time it’s real,” he mumbles as I slowly slip away
And I’ll stare down at my pillow
And cry
Because I lost him once again
I can’t stop having dreams about a boy I miss. I feel so safe with him until I wake up and feel the pain of losing him all over again. I want those dreams to be real and everlasting.

I want more than anything to be enough for someone
Not too much, as Robert says
Just enough
Enough for a text back
Enough for a smile
Enough to love
Enough to fill the hole in someone's heart
As I so desperately wish someone would do for me
My friend told me the reason I haven’t found anyone isn’t because I’m not enough, it’s because I’m too much. So they use me. I just want to be just enough.

— The End —
