I Wonder

i wonder if i broke your heart,

if you’ll write sad poems about me 
if you’ll wonder why i left you 

i wonder if i gave you issues 
you’ll carry on to the next 
i wonder if you’ll always question 
if what you have is real 

but
i didn’t mean to hurt you that night 
and you’ll never know the real truth 

but 
wasn’t it true that i was scared

and it hurt my heart
to watch you fight 
but it was futile 
because i knew that for once 

i had to choose myself.

I Hope Your Are Doing Well, Love

I hope you are doing well, love. 
hope that even though I am not,
you are smiling
without me.

Hope that you don't know what it feels like to
miss me 
the way I 
miss you.

Hope that you will never know the
heartbreak 
of waking up from a dream
where we were still together.

To find I can only 
find you in my fantasies

It's unbecoming 
of me to keep coming 
back when you keep running. 

Its something 
I'll never understand about myself.

The way I love unlovable people.
Still,

I hope you are doing well,
Love. 

I hope you're doing better than me.

Phantom

I grab the lighter,
Watch the paper burn 

And pretend you don't haunt me 

Pretend I still can't feel your hands,
Around my throat 

Over my mouth 

And with every puff I take 

I find ways to shove you 

Deep
Deep 
Down 

Just like everything else

I Loved You, Once

I loved you once 
And frankly 
You’d never deserve it 

But I loved you, 
Once 

Maybe twice 

And now that I don’t
(Love you that is) 

I wonder where the sparkle in your eyes went 
Or why your smile looks so dull now 
That my kisses can’t brighten them up 

Because I breathed life into you 
While you sucked it out of me

Im Sorry, Too

When you called me,
I knew I’d have to tell you this time

I wanted you there
Looking me in my ing eyes 
When I told you what you did

But you already knew
So you told me to spit it out

And all you could say was 
Im sorry 


“Im a bad person
Im sorry




Are you ok?”


So I said yes.

Because I was sorry too

Sorry I met you 
Sorry I let you 
Violate me

I was sorry that I let myself hope
You could actually be
Sorry

Not Ok

i will never understand 
why

you felt the need to take from me 
what i would have given 
willingly.

i tried to be 
ok
with the way 

you violated me.

but after that night 

your touch never felt the same 
and when you held me 
i felt suffocated.

and i guess my body knew
before my heart did

that i was not 
ok

Not So Bad

I'm not so bad these days 
I only cry when I’m drunk 
and even then 
I wonder 
if I’m even crying over you 

Because I flirt again 
And I giggle 
I even blushed the other day 
And it wasn’t 
because of you 

I wear makeup again 
And clothes I like 

Im even going on a date 

Im not that bad these days 
I really am getting better 

And I wonder if soon 
I won’t feel bad at all

Pavement

The night was cold on the balcony
Of my old apartment complex,
5 stories in the air,
Gave me a great view of the trees.

The only light was the streetlamp
And the stars
And the moon.

And I wondered
How the air would feel
Whipping through my hair.

And I wondered
If the pavement
Would be a good pillow.

And I wondered if,
After my body
Touched the ground,
I would still feel alive.

I didn't take a leap tonight,
I didn't think of it two nights prior,
I don't think I'll ever jump.

So, I'll keep to myself,
These thoughts I have,
About the thrill of soaring.

Ruined

I ruined the picture of you 
I created in my mind

Unplugged the vacuum 
That held the me and you that were in love 

Because when I call you 
You don't answer as fast

And when you say my name
 it sounds different 

And it will be easier to let you go than the others
Because I've had so much practice 

But I don't want to give up on us

Losing All My Sad

Losing My Sad 


Im losing the ability to craft
Heartbreaking poems
Because you ease the pain 
That overflows my body to the point 
where I feel like my seams are ripping 

And your eyes are light enough that I can see the truth in them
And your smile is bright enough to scare away the nightmares that plague me 
And I wonder if its such a bad thing 
that im losing all my sad
