Every day,
I have daydreams.
Pleasant ones
Of you.
Every night,
I wake up
And smile.
You keep the nightmares away.
But with no chance of getting
To call you mine,
I miss the old days
When I could call you mine
And when I smiled
When I knew I could feel love.
But I left you
And now my heart is a lacuna,
That dark, empty, bottomless pit
When I get upset,
All I can think about
Is holding someone’s hand.
I wish that hand
Could be yours.
Why not?
Life is worth living
So live another day.
And every day after that.
Don’t spend it
Locked up
In your mind.
Get up
And do things
That make you feel alive.
I think
A date at the museum
Would be pointless
Because even near all of that art,
I’d still stare at you.
Because you are more beautiful
Than any masterpiece.
You are my masterpiece.
You need to learn
To stay strong for yourself,
Not me.
Because one day,
I’m not going to be in your life
And I’m sorry for that.
But you know I love you,
You know I care,
So take those
The act of breathing
Is enough to remind you
That you’re broken.
You’re not whole.
You haven’t been,
Ever.
When I die,
Please don’t cry over me.
Because I will not be able
to wipe away your tears.
You know I’ve loved you,
Always,
Until the day I died.
I can’t care for you anymore,
Life isn’t poetry,
But our hands lock together
Like puzzle pieces
And our hearts intertwine
Like vines on a fence.
We’ll never be as perfect
As our words
On those late nights,
I’ll never forget you.
I can promise you that.
That’s probably the only thing I can promise.
Until the day I die,
No matter how soon or late that day is,
I will always remember you.
I want to go home
But I’m not sure where that is anymore.
They say home is where the heart is
But I love you
And you don’t love me.
You have my heart
But I don’t have yours.
Can you be home
I don’t have time to feel guilty.
Neither do you.
But we still do,
Both of us.
We both feel guilty
For hurting each other.
I don’t want to live forever
Because I don’t want to watch
Everyone
And everything
I’ve ever loved
Or hated, even,
Disappear from in front of my very eyes.
Especially you.
You always smile
Like you’re about to cry
Your eyes
They get glossy
Your smile wavers
Your mask falters
Your façade crumbles.
You know I love you.
Why can’t you see that?
I started thing of you last night.
I guess I never realized
Just how much I miss you.
I left you
For a boy I didn’t really love,
A boy who didn’t deserve my love.
When I needed someone,
