"Believe me when I say that I’ve tried getting you out of my mind so many times that attempting..."

Without you, I am not lost,
I am not broken, and I am
not in need to be taken
care of. I can make it
without you with me.
I am still strong without
you by my side. I am not
helpless without you,
and I am not the disaster
that you thought I would be.
To think that I ever thought
that I couldn’t survive without
you was the most foolish
thing...

that I couldn’t survive without

ever created.

I met this girl at the bar last night and when I looked her way, she walked up to me and said she didn’t know my name but she feels that we are somehow connected. That it wasn’t the alcohol talking but her intuition.
When I left the bar, I looked at a group of girls and one of them called me a bitch and I called her beautiful and she started to cry because she knew that sometimes assumptions can hurt.
I slept with my best friend last night. And I mean we shared the same pillow and thoughts but we didn’t intertwine our bodies, but we did mangle our legs together in hope that the morning wouldn’t show its face.
He looked at me at 3 a.m. and told me that my brother never left his mind, even when he left his bed. I asked him if he wanted to be near him, to feel his skin against his and he sighed with a yes and I told him to make it his way back before he regrets the chance to in the morning.
We woke up facing one another, laughing at the memories of the night before when our tongues were soaked in vodka. We laughed so hard that we almost forgot about goodbye. We laughed so hard that we forgot how it felt to hurt.

You have always
been beautiful,
and you didn’t
need the words
of others to
tell you that.
You just...
You have always
been beautiful,
and you didn’t
need the words
of others to
tell you that.
You just needed
to study yourself
long enough
to know about
the truth that rests
in the creases
of your illuminating
and fragile skin.
You believed in me
when everyone else
was saying that I
would never make it
out of these...
You believed in me
when everyone else
was saying that I
would never make it
out of these trying
times, and for that
there is amount
of perfectly perfected
poetry lines that
could do the
proper justice
of thanking you
for your dedication.
As long as you’re happy,
I will always be happy for you.
I am not bitter at the thought

As long as you’re happy,
I will always be happy for you.
I am not bitter at the thought
of your body being tangled
in another body that does not
belong to me. I am not angry
at the memories of when
you and I were together and
that the only thing that you
could see was yourself.
I will not hold on to the times
when I thought that our love
was something worth fighting
for, while you thought that it
was something to leave behind.
I will always love you. Even
when you claim that you
have never loved me. This is
my reminder to you that I
will never push you out of
my mind. This is for you to know
that even though we did not
end up together, I will always
be happy for whatever it is
that you end up becoming.

who has held more pens
than cigarettes, and
who has touched others
with his words more than
his hands. This is my
confession, my reminder
to him of my appreciation
and dedication. For the man
who has seen a light
inside of me while others
could only see darkness.
For you, the man who
was able to put my mind
on a pedestal and not
inside of a box that held
letters of love and secrecy.
To you, the man who changed
my outlook on passion,
and who only ever wanted to
display my affections upon
the surface of his beloved art,
I thank you. I thank you for
finding the strength in the
parts of myself that I never
even knew had the ability
to be remembered.”

I can see our future
forming beneath
my sensitive eyelids.
I can see us together,
and I can feel...
I can see our future
forming beneath
my sensitive eyelids.
I can see us together,
and I can feel us
taking on the world
with our hands tied
behind our backs.
With you, I am able
to take on anything.
With you, I can only
see something that
is worth fighting for.
