the poems
that are written
by the poet
to forget the past.
resurface the memories
that hurt them last.
idek what this is I just wanted to try this out.

and i'll wait.
ill wait until the sky falls
and im on my knees,
begging you for another try.
again.
and you'll come back
when he breaks your heart
but you'll leave just as fast
when he mends it back together.

I will always wait for you.
even when you're laying in his arms or kissing his lips.
I will always wait for you to come back.
even when it hurts me more than you ever have.
I'm always going to be here when you need me.

a rebound. i'll always be your rebound.

oh I fell for you.
I fell for you hard.
but I fell for you last time.
and the time before that.
and even the time before that.

every waking second I spend with your name on the tip of my tongue.
your eyes live forever in my mind.

every word you speak to me has me falling deeper and deeper into your trance.
you're my first thought today and my last thought tonight.

you keep me wondering.

baby I'm on the edge of my seat.
what's next?
the suspense is killing me.
horror was always ur favorite genre anyway. im ready for the jumpscare. i can always hope too much.

I still find myself creeping on your accounts.
I still read your poetry and feel the smallest pang of hope,
"maybe its about me"

why do I still long for you?
I have someone who treats me better than you dreamed to
but
you
you're always on my mind

I hate it.

you are the magnet that I cannot escape.

i begged her to stay.
she took her last 'breath' on the
machine that became her lungs.
she left consumed by the medicine they
pumped into her veins.
the tube in her throat kept her
last words on the tip of her tongue.
I watched her rot from the inside out,
all while standing six feet back.
please wear your mask

I love you
but I can't help but let it cross my mind.
the few days where I didn't know where you were made me much happier.
you're with him.
I can't help but let it cross my mind.
I know what you do.
you wrote me a song and sang it for him.
I love you but I can't sit here and let you **** me.
my emotions are worth more than you.
I am not the person you cause me to be.
what the **** is this ****
