I HOPE YOU CAN ACCEPT ME
MY SCARS
HOW I LOVE
MY MIND
WHAT I’M SCARED OF
MY INSECURITIES
AND EVERYTHING THAT MAKES ME
WELL,
ME.
YOU DON’T REALLY KNOW ME YET
BUT I HOPE YOU’RE PLANNING TO.
I’M CLINGY AND LOVE WITH MY ENTIRETY.
I’M SORRY IF THAT’S A BIT MUCH
BUT THAT’S JUST ME.
I CAN BE COMPLICATED,
BUT SO CAN EVERYONE.
I HOPE TO LOOK BACK ON THIS
AND SEE THAT WE’VE WON.

PEOPLE OFTEN ASK
WHY I WRITE ALL OF
MY POEMS LIKE I AM
S C R E A M I N G.
IT IS NOT I WHO IS SCREAMING,
BUT IT IS MY BRAIN AND MY HEART
SCREAMING OUT TO FEEL MORE
THAN JUST
WORTHLESS
ALL THE TIME.

I FELL IN LOVE
WITH SOMEONE
TODAY.
I HAVE NEVER MET
THEM NOR TALKED TO THEM
BUT MY HEART
IS CAPTIVATED BY
THE WAY HE WRITES.
I DON’T KNOW ANYTHING  
ABOUT HIM.
IS HE IN A RELATIONSHIP?
IS HE EVEN INTO GIRLS?
WHAT IS HIS FAVORITE COLOR,
AND DOES HE PREFER COFFEE OR TEA?
I KNOW HE WILL READ THIS.
HE READS ALL OF MY WORK.
I KNOW HE WILL LOOK OVER THIS
AND NOT REALIZE I AM WRITING
ABOUT HIM.
BUT IF YOU HAPPEN TO
REALIZE THIS IS FOR
YOU,
PLEASE DON’T BE SCARED
TO LET ME KNOW.
I WILL NEVER HAVE THE GUTS TO SAY
HELLO.

YOU TOUCHED MY HEART,
BUT YOU LOVED HERS.
NOW TELL ME HOW IS THAT FAIR?
YOU TOLD ME WE WERE IN LOVE
BUT WAS LOVE EVEN THERE?
I WAITED FOR YOU FOR SO LONG
NOW I SEE THE TRUTH.
I WISH I DIDNT WASTE MY
TIME HERE WITH YOU.
I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN
WHEN YOU TOLD ME WE WERE THROUGH
BUT WHEN YOUR LIPS
TOUCHED MINE,
I FELT LIKE I WAS
FLYING. AND FOR ONCE
I DIDNT HAVE THE
WANT OF DYING.
YOU WERE MY ONE AND ONLY
SAVIOR,
BUT IT’S FUNNY HOW QUICKLY
THINGS CHANGE.
INSTEAD OF BEING THE
ONE WHO MAKES MY HEART BEAT,
YOU WERE THE ONE THAT MADE IT
WANT TO
STOP.

my heart will not break, but simply bend.
until my final breath;
i will love you until the end.

although times get hard, i will not leave;
because without you, there is no me.
my heart will not break, but simply bend.

holding on will hurt both of us;
but that doesn’t mean we say goodbye.
i will love you until the end.

if you want to keep our love alive;
just keep your hand clasped in mine.
my heart will not break, but simply bend.

even when things seem hopeless;
even when you begin to feel weak.
i will love you until the end.

and even though i’m losing you;
i believe we will pull through.
my heart will not break, but simply bend,
i will love you until the end.
