You don't say it.
You never show it.

But darling,
you know all too well
that my soul is unmatched.

So if you tire walking
in puddles, come
take a swim in mine.

You squeeze all the
love out of me.
Then you leave me
on poles to dry, hanging.

You can throw me to the wolves, they won't hurt me. The wolves know my scent. We howl at the moon together.

You can take me to the demons, they don't terrify me. The devil knows my name. We spend nights together.

You can give me up to ghosts so they haunt me. Oh! How they like it; this void in my chest, where my heart used to be.

I will unlearn your heart.
I will forget your ways.

I will outgrow this pain.
I will sprout from this grave.

The stars have burned a billion
years, but refuse to burnout.

I will love again. These scars
will be a light.

What better way to feel
that pain,than to light the
path as you burn.

"Just how dark?" They ask.

"Sometimes I give the devil quite a scare," I reply.

Love falls like snow.
It's beautiful but it's cold.

I had to stop.

Because what else
is left to give,

when you
give it all you got?

I am a body of people
from my past,
stammering I love you's
and sudden goodbyes.

"Maybe, we’re dumb to try to pin significance onto every little thing.

Maybe, when someone says, “I see you,” it just means, “I see you.”

I'm used.

Just that sometimes it gets really heavy!

We fed on each other's soul,
until we both ran out...

We are just looking at each
other now.

🌕


The moon never asks for
attention after all,

                          It just glows.

Heart on my sleeve. My soul on a leash.

I was just
trying to save the
little that was
left of me.

I didn't know.

Putting out the flames,
when emotions
set you ablaze
just turns your heart cold.

Sometimes you mean just a little. And sometimes you mean nothing at all.
