I Would Leave Me If I Could: A Collection of Poetry

by Halsey

I want to walk away from my bones and set them down on a counter like my keys after work.

I sing in the shower and I walk around naked. I love my whole body though you once made me hate it.

I heard what you’re up to I’m glad that I left.

“Haven’t told you in a while, but you’re the reason for it all. You’re a vital complication I never seem to resolve.”

“Swallow your apologies. None of them mean shit to me. And all you have these days are bad days.”

I can’t remember what it’s like to face a mirror and not hate the person staring back at me.

It takes me 7 minutes to run a mile And 7 seconds to run from my problems
