You'll Come Back to Yourself

by Michaela Angemeer

i have been let down by men so many times there is no disappointment left for you

don’t plant seeds of commitment in my mind if you never intend to water them

i tried so hard to be whole for you but it turns out you like me better when i’m in pieces i knew

here lies you’re crazy and i’m a narcissist and honestly i can’t close the casket on that one because although i prefer dramatic

i’ve learned to love the empty space beside me in bed but when i look at it long enough i swear i can hear the outline of where he used to lay ask me, why do we keep loving people who can’t love us back?
