June 17th, 2023 Read it again. And again. And again.
What I do Was for you Now it’s me Found self love But I still
My self deprecation Are humbling jokes As to starve my ego Not a reflection of self hatred My sense of self
This bed is too big I have too much space These blankets are too much Engulfing me, but I still shiver I have too much food

Do not assume these words of hurt Are directed at you I have bared to you my heart and s… Yet our words remained withheld Do not assume these words of pain

People always say, “These feelings will fade away” Which ones, love or pain?
Like a tower of crystal glasses My hope stacks higher Waiting to come crashing down And lacerate my heart below A thousand tiny shards

You Your Your voice Echoes ghostly In the halls of my memories
I drank you in Like a fish Gasping for water Little did I know You were a shark
