“What do you say to a girl who becomes familiar with heartache before she’s legal enough to drink? What are words to a girl who is used to getting hurt by everyone claiming to care? All these young souls drowning in sadness before knowing how to swim. Trying to navigate this rugged terrain called life. Sadly, heartbreak arrives earlier than it should, but if there’s anything that I know for sure it is that the heartache transforms the broken girl into a powerful woman. I just wish the pain didn’t start so young. I just wish you had more time to comprehend what it means to be happy and maybe one day you will.”

for a love that wasn’t love
who failed you
which parent failed you
who in your family
decided to betray you
by failing to teach you
about the troubles in this world
and the evil in men

an adult struggling
to find yourself
lost beneath the crumbling foundation
that should have been made stronger
by the people who raised you
they failed you . . . ”

“drunk beneath a pale moon.
I’m in a room, a dark room. Surrounded by candles, the light is flickering off the wall. The flame dances to the silence and the sound of me breathing. I feel alone, nearing loneliness, alone, overthinking. I feel sadness lurking near the windows of my heart as the wrong thoughts overcrowd my mind. I can’t sleep, and so I just lie here with my eyes searching the ceiling for an imperfection, tracing old lines in the paint that give off this illusion of the foundation cracking. This is something I can relate to, being imperfect, feeling as if I’ll crack beneath the weight of it all.”

“I AM NOT SORRY
I’m sorry
I’m cold with you.
I’m sorry
at times,
I don’t know what to do
or what to say.
And I’m sorry
I never have
the right words
for you.
It’s just,
I’ve dealt with hearts
that don’t break
too lightly.
Hard hearts, you know . . . 
hearts that have seen
too much,

felt too much
to even flinch
a little
when it all goes wrong. 
And I’ve dealt
with fragile hearts, too,
ones that shatter
the moment the air shifts
away from them.
Yes, life is hard
and loving someone
is even harder,
and right now
you caught me
at a difficult time
in my life,
a time
where I put myself first.

A time
where I only have
my own problems
to care about,
to deal with.
Yes, it is true,
I know it sounds selfish,
but I love who I am
and because of that,
I don’t want to sugarcoat
how it is . . . 
that is,
if the world is fucked up
then that’s how
I want you to see it,
you know?
I won’t protect you
from the truth,
from what hurts.

I’m not afraid
to make you feel bad
at the cost of being honest,
at the cost
of being myself.
Shit,
as if we don’t have it
bad enough already.
And yes,
I know the both of us
have let go
many people,
both good and bad,
and because of it,
if I must break you,
then I will.
And if you must
break me . . . 
then so be it.

I love you,
and I’m ready
no matter what you do
or what you say.
I am here.
I am here.
I am here.
And I
have nowhere else
to go.”
― R.H. Sin, Empty Bottles Full of Stories

“You have so much
inside of you.
Like a thousand oceans
and a thousand moons
and here you are,
hurting over something
you'll soon grow out of
something
you'll soon forget.
So why carry this pain?
When all the love
in the universe dwells
within you.
Find it.
The happiness you're seeking
begins and will always begin
with you.”
― R.H. Sin, Empty Bottles Full of Stories

love her
and love her well.
She is not meant
to live forever
