falling for you was like
starving
then remembering
you put left overs in the refrigerator
just to check and realize they've been eaten
nothing but full of getting my hopes up

I wish I knew what I wanted to say
But all I've got right now is:
it's ok you might be leaving soon
i'll take any amount at all.
i'm afraid a little bit,
and i'm not sure that will go away,
but you can have me regardless
to fiddle around in my ribcage
(just leave a little for me when you go)
(and i know you favor questions, baby,
but tuck away a few answers for me please)

I wrote poems that carried so much of my vulnerability, self-love, emptiness, lust, self-destruction, and etc. that I felt all in that time.

I woke up every morning having bad habits that were difficult to let go. It began to be a routine to go on with my day with toxic thoughts, actions and feelings.

Most times, it takes hundredths of poems to heal brokenness. I'm here to say, in that amount of time, you have grown stronger than the last poem you've written. And when you look back at all those words you poured out so effortlessly, you have not realized how much pain you gone through and survived. You are a healing wound, and your body and mind is working wonders without you even knowing every second of the day.

You will wake up one day, feeling exhausted for letting this heaviness weigh you down for so long and you'll realize you're meant to do more than just fall.

i have nothing beautiful to write
i have no elegant way of saying
i just want to be in your arms

i have loved you
since the day i laid eyes on you.
and maybe
we no longer speak
the same language
maybe
we don't look for each other
first anymore in a crowded room
or text one another to
make sure we made it home safely,
but ill always carry you in my heart,
and wonder where it all went wrong,
hoping in the end
it's you and i.
