I tell you that I’m getting better.

I clean out my drawers,

open the windows, and fix

myself up as if I am going out

in 15 minutes. You believe it.

You see me doing the things

that I never did when I was

swallowed whole by darkness.

You think that I’ve escaped.

You think that that I’ve gotten

better because my skin

no longer aches, no longer

is red and swollen, and looks

like I’ve been through war.

You think that I’ve gotten

better because my eyes

no longer look like an evicted

home. You think that I am

getting better, but really

I am becoming more empty

then I was before you started

noticing my unstoppable collapse.

I’ve been having dreams

about you lately. They always

end with our bodies pressed

together, and with my hands

searching for a place

inside of you that I can

call home. But before I can

find safety, I wake up

to the empty side of my bed

that you used to fill.

When my mother asks me

if I am depressed, points out

that I have been sleeping

a lot more than usual,

I tell her no. And I tell myself

that if this is the only way

that I will ever be able

to be with you again, I will

spend the rest of my life

with my eyes shut,

and my mind filling the void

of a hopeless reality.

“I don’t care about 
how many people
you wanted before me.
 I just care that you
 love me now, 
and that you will
 always love me
 even when you
no longer want 
me around.”

I want you to
remember me.
But not in the way
that you last saw me.
With my temper high,
and with...

I want you to

remember me.

But not in the way

that you last saw me.

With my temper high,

and with my words

being released only for

the attack. I want you

to remember me

in the way that I

remember you.

With your hopes

focused on love,

and your hands

searching for a feeling

that could only

lead you to

overwhelming happiness.

I miss you the most
on days like today.
When the sun
is at its highest,
and when my love
is on...

I miss you the most

on days like today.

When the sun

is at its highest,

and when my love

is on fire

with the thought

of you someday

returning.

What do you write for?

For myself. For anyone who is struggling. For the sake of my sanity. To show her that I still love her. To show him that I am better without him. To get some sleep. To get some clarity. To forget. To forgive. To remember, forever. To show myself that time really does heal. To believe that there is safety within words. For anyone who wants to move on. For anyone who wants something more. To go back and reflect. But mostly, to show myself that there is still love. Even if at some point, it felt like that feeling never existed.

is it bad that i miss my sadness? i miss how i could control myself from snacking and also i can feel it. i feel like i fake my emotions too much that i believe its real

It’s not sad, but it’s also not good. But I honestly understand how you feel. I used to feel that way. But love, you do have self-control. You just have to learn how to control yourself when happiness is inside of you. Don’t let the sadness swallow you. Don’t let it make you think that you are better with it on your back. That’s what it wants. Don’t feed it. Please. You are much too good, too beautiful for that. Just let the happiness and the warmth get a feel for you for a little while. Give it a chance. It will surprise you.

i'd kiss you. from your lips to your neck to your collar bones and all over your beautiful body, like you were made of more than just stardust, but of the stuff that my deepest dreams and desires are made of

Oh my. My knees just became weak from this sensual and seductive message. Yes to this. To all of it. I will bring you home donuts and whatever else your heart desires.
