I didn’t lose my love for you
overnight. I didn’t just wake up
one morning and decide that
this thing we were doing,
the direction in which we were
heading in was only making
us more lost. I lost my love
for you when I slowly came
to the realization that this
thing we were doing was only
going to lead us both to
the constant pain of heartbreak.
They got you to turn
against yourself. To make
you believe that you are
no one of importance.
Just...
They got you to turn
against yourself. To make
you believe that you are
no one of importance.
Just yesterday you began
to feel at ease in your
own body. To feel comfort
being stuck inside
a layer of skin that you
know you can never
free yourself from.
This is how they
get you to go against
yourself. They tell you
that you will never
be someone who is
worth remembering.

"This is where I lost you,
the moment when you
finally decided that my love
could never be enough..."
This is where I lost you,
the moment when you
finally decided that my love
could never be enough
to make you stay.
All those moments in which
we only ever clawed at the
surface of things, speaking
words that didn’t need to be
spoken and omitting ones
that we so desperately
needed to express.
This is where I lost you,
the moment when open
palms met the mouth
of a decaying sun,
and where shadows slanted
until there was no ground
left to cover.
All those moments in which
we only ever looked at the
exterior of things, we did not
realize that we were beginning to
fold away from one another,
like two flowers reaching
for different skies.

When she touched me
for the first time, I knew
in that very moment
that my life would be
changed forever.
That my life would
hold more meaning
as long as she
never grows tired
of our textures
losing themselves
in each others.
We are always waiting,searching for someonewho can give us that lovethat we have alwayswanted to...
We are always waiting,
searching for someone
who can give us that love
that we have always
wanted to give to another.

everything that reminded me of you
is starting to remind me of her,
and that’s how I know
that I am finally over you.

Before you left, I took
the stars from your eyes
so I could give them
to someone who would
actually be able to name them,
rather than treat them
as if they blurred your vision,
blinding you from the truth.
But these stars were not
in your eyes to cause a problem.
They were in your eyes
to show you that the light
of my love would never burn out.
Not even when you would
close your eyes to shut me out.
