i’ve been
too busy
running
from heartbreak
to find
love.

darkest nights
when you left
i felt like the nights
would swallow me
whole.
forward progress
i burned
my bridges
i had no intentions
of going back
to something
that hurt me
so badly.
jagged hearts
blinded by the pain
i was grasping
for pieces i lost—
cutting myself
on the jagged edges
of the pieces i had left.
the holes in your heart
closing your heart
doesn’t mean
that you’ve healed.
star-gazer
he wasted his time
on shooting
stars
while the sun
burned
before him.
your name
Just a whisper to the wind,
Simple words,
And a whiff of past life
That keep me up
Till dawn.
wishful thinking
I feel the familiar sting
Of your hands
Drawn along my body,
You whisper my name,
And I hear no love,
But need,
Selfish need–
A need I could never wish
Into love.
already gone
The worst part
Was calling out for you
In the longest summer nights,
The loneliest echoes,
The saddest sounds.
scar tissue
Your eyes rested
Fixed on my scars
While my heart lay bare
Before you.
