You will never forgetabout the first personwho told you thatthey love you morethan you will everbe...

You will never forget
about the first person
who told you that
they love you more
than you will ever
be able to love yourself.
And even if
you’ve tried to rid
of that detailed memory
it will sooner or later
come back to haunt you
when you finally feel
as if you have moved on.

My mouth still tastes

so bitter from kissing

you last month.

I don’t know how

to wash you off

of my skin without

tearing away at my flesh.

The mornings that I

lay awake in my bed

without you by my side

are the mornings that I

can never seem

to sleep through.

But I am not sad anymore,

and I don’t wish that you

were here still.

I’ve grown used to

you leaving when the time

is not right.

I’m getting used to your

absence. And if you

come back, you’ll put me

back to where I started;

with you not here

and my chest aching

with thoughts of

what I could have

possibly done wrong.

I feel like your writing has become so pretentious. I miss your old work.

It’s literally exactly how it used to be. You can only string together so many words until things start to sound repetitive. But thank you for enjoying my old work. It’s better than nothing!

You should never measureyour self-worthin what other peoplethink that youshould have became.

You should never measure
your self-worth
in what other people
think that you
should have became.

Being emptydoes not meanthat you needsomeone tofill you withtheir sympathy.

Being empty
does not mean
that you need
someone to
fill you with
their sympathy.

“On how to love yourself”

Don’t double cross yourself.
Your heart has already gone
through too much of that
to be able to bounce
back from the burn.

Instead of telling yourself
that you will never be
able to do
what you love most,
let your hands
explore everything
that you have ever
wanted to touch.

When you want to give up,
drop everything
and let your mind know
that it is not the time
to let go of the things
that you once cherished
so much.

As much as you can
tell yourself 
that you love yourself
more than any 
person who took your
gratitude for granted
ever could.

She is so beautiful,

and she knows that.

She uses her appearance

to destroy the insides

of those who she only

sees as something temporary.

And I was someone,

or something to her

that was only temporary.

You’ve always loved me,and I am certain about that.But just because someoneloves you, does...

You’ve always loved me,

and I am certain about that.

But just because someone

loves you, does not mean

that they are dedicated

to only you. And I am certain

that your heart was never

fully mine to claim as my own.
