Poems for the Signs

by Michaela Angemeer

i don’t wanna be with anybody who weaponizes my vulnerability saves it in a wooden box loads it in a shotgun when i least expect it

one day, i promise there will be someone you can let in who will keep you safe once they're inside

you may never let go completely but you will move on

you can set boundaries with people. you can say all the right things. and still, some patterns of abuse are too powerful to break.

it’s okay if most of the love in your twenties was unrequited

i was raised on guilt and shame i’m just trying to be myself again

you can’t build a home out of red flags

always a little too obsessed with aquarians

capricorns see my heart

i loved a taurus so much it almost ended me

Exactly 😭

will you still love me when some days i don’t want to wake up at all
