And all I want to know
is how it was so easy
for you to leave me
without a single
trace of regret
within your
footsteps.
I have written too many poems about youfor you to become a distant memory.There are too many lines...
I have written too many poems about you
for you to become a distant memory.
There are too many lines about changing
but never doing the work. I don’t know
how I’ve gone on this long with your name
still stuck in my mouth. And no matter how
many times I’ve tried to write you out
you still linger within every corner
of my deluded mind.
I’m not sure if it’syour absence that hasdriven me to almostinsanity, but...
I’m not sure if it’s
your absence that has
driven me to almost
insanity, but lately
I’ve been seeing you
everywhere. And I
don’t know if it’s
my mind that is
making you up,
or my heart
that is still holding
on to the idea
that you’re still here.

doesn’t fall out of love with you.
where they destroy your fears
instead of their promises. a poem
in which you never needed to
forgive to be able to forget.
in this unspecific poem,
the other person stays, and you
are not left with the silence.
when you never needed to
smoke something in in order
to smoke their love out. a poem
in which you are not the one
begging for their return
because they never left
to begin with. in this poem
no one is to blame, and no one
is right or wrong. in which
you both come out as the hero.
in this poem, neither of you
are using your words to spite
their memory. in this poem,
both of you wanted what was
best for each other. a poem
in which there is no such thing
as lost love. a poem about
what happens when two people
love each other more
than they love themselves.”

I look at my hands
and I want to douse
them in lighter fluid,
light a match and burn
all of the traces
of your scent, your
texture, and your
memory. I cannot look
at my hands without
thinking of you.
And I will continue to
forgive you, as long
as you promise to
never forget about me.
And I will continue to
forgive you, as long
as you promise to
never forget about me.
I keep reassuring myself
that leaving you was
a good thing, the best
thing for the both of us.
But...
I keep reassuring myself
that leaving you was
a good thing, the best
thing for the both of us.
But now that I’m alone
in this bed that we used to
share, I can’t help but to
feel as if I made a mistake.
That maybe we were meant
to be more than miles,
more than silence between
two phone lines. And now
that I am in this bed that is
still stained in your memory
I cannot help but think
that maybe the mistake I made
was leaving you behind
without a trace of regret.

Your love has
given me more
than any amount
of hope ever could.
Your love has

I know that I was the one
who pushed you away.

I know that I was the one
who pushed you away.
That I was the one who
made you feel that starting
over was something
too difficult to want to do.
And I’m sorry for that.
I’m sorry for not being
brave enough to love you
with everything I have.
But you have to understand
that me letting you go
was the best for the both
of us. Because one day
I knew that you would
resent me for the lack
of love I never showed you.
And I would rather have
you fall in love with
someone who is not me
than to have you go
through life with my name
tainting the roof of your
unforgivable tongue.

I wanted to surround you
in the type of love that he
could never give to you.
Make me your everything
and I promise to never
damage your heart,
or make you look back
in regret. When I say forever
I mean until we can
no longer see our lives
being complete without
being together. I hope
that you have the same
definition as I do.
