hollow

and in the same way trees bloom, only to wither a season of two later
she steals your heart, to hold it and drop it a week or two later
and in the same way the sun permanently positions on you, only to shine on someone else
she left me empty

now I am overflowing, she could take and take and take; that I would still be so full

i hope ur my soulmate

i can’t help falling in love with you

you hold my heart in your hand
and you chose to protect it

i want to feel you grip me tight
making sure i feel, just how right it is

together we unite
to create our own solidarity

if we don’t end up together
destiny is a lie

i remember

they called her honey
because her soul
was golden

oxymoron

i’m walking through hell
but trying my best to be an angel

the ever lasting struggle that is
trying to be a good person
in a bad place

survivors never stop surviving

you took from me
something i will never get back
you took my life
but you left me living

it ended
but it never finished
from the second it started
i began surviving

from that moment
i never really lived again

people say “recovery is a long road”
there is nothing long about the road
because the road doesn’t exist
sometimes you can’t recover
and from that moment
you’re living with

Euphorically lost on you

I am infatuated by the fact that I should be ignoring these feelings
but they are simply too strong to put aside

Even though I know it is hopelessly and unjustifiably wrong
I am so drawn to taking the risk
obviously I know I never would

Doesn’t make me feel like less of a ****
For considering it in the first place

loving you is scarier than losing you

I lack the ability to swallow my pride
and tell you the truth about my feelings
I’m so desperate to hide

I’m scared to tell you
if I had to guess why I’d probably say
because I’m scared you don’t too

I imagine a world where it’s you and me
but I can’t help but think
you don’t see the same picture as me

Which is cruel but fine
that’s life and after all
breaking hearts isn’t a crime
