Do it.
( Nah, just lie on the bed. )

Do it.
( Isn't it comfy here? )

You have no time.
( I have some reels to share. )

Five seconds to decide.
( "No", that's what I say. )

Do it.
( Five seconds over.)

I think I should leave it.

i sat in the forest --
picking up leaves
and ripping them
in different ways,
different shapes
because everyone is different.

and they all break differently.

i picked a once green leaf
that was staring to brown
on the edges.

i ripped it
and it didn't break
slowly
like the others.

it just fell apart
in my hands.

but it made me look up at the
sunbeams
slipping between
the tall forest trees.

realising,
not everyone breaks slowly.

some people crumble and fall apart
all at once.

and that's okay.

I don't want to love you anymore
I don't want to miss you anymore
I don't want to think
Or cry
Or beg
Or dream
For you anymore
I don't want
Anything with you anymore
Yet here I am
Doing all of that
Wanting all of that
And more

I am always
One call away
One text away
One email away
One street away
From you
I am always
There for you
But you are always
One step
Away from me

A decade
and still,
I keep you.

A locked chest.
A river with no mouth.
A flame in the dark,
burning only me.

Beautiful
yes.
Painful
always.

Petals fall.
Seasons pass.
I never speak.

and I fall.
