because i know i've never been
good enough
but maybe i can create
a girl composed
of all the notes you adore.
i've never felt
a sadness like this;
deep enough to drown in
so full of emptiness
that i'm left
thirsty
famished
and drowning.
you've always been
a contradiction,
but you're my
favourite one,
and i Love you
so fiercely.
i'm packing my pieces of you
in bittersweet boxes,
but my love just
won't fit.
maybe because
i never wanted
to write this.

look at the mirror and fall in love at first sight
give yourself a flower
and wear your favorite
sweater
sit in a nice, quiet
little coffee shop
and meet yourself
with that first sip
of warmth
and a smile.
in the afternoon,
walk to the nearest park
and hold your hands
together
as if in a prayer
like a lover's dream,
be sweet to yourself
for once.
let the kid with the waffle cone
and his mother
stare at you for 45 seconds
while you feed the birds
hang those insecurities
by the door
or tuck them away
somewhere
in your cabinets
or drawers-
just take them off
today,
pick a hot red dress
and buy yourself
a drink for two
tonight,
mirror at one end
of the table
and your love
at the other.

addicted
my words struggle to reach you
I feel them claw the air
desperate for breakthrough
as if still you're there
rendezvous prescription
waiting for refill
adrenaline affliction
addicted to the thrill

a retraction of august's horoscope
“aquarius, you have fallen in love with the storm again,”
the august horoscope reads.
it is almost—but not quite—correct.
for the sake of astrological accuracy

“aquarius, you have fallen
in love—” (this part
may remain)
“—aquarius, you have fallen in love
in the sticky heat of summer,
the air as damp as your skin,
heat rising from the tarmac
of this flat swamp town.”
or perhaps, “aquarius,
it will not feel like a storm.
there will be no lightning bolts,
no thunder. there will be no fire
under your skin.”
“aquarius, your love will be

I'm not sure what you want
But all I want
Is you
(still)
Breakups are pretty freaking terrible. I never thought I'd lose you quite like this.

I've never had a boyfriend before, so I don't know what breaking up with someone feels like, but your writing captured your heartbreak and longing very well. I'm sorry for whatever you went through though.
