the catalyst…

to be able to let go of you it feels as if i’d also have to let go of who i’ve been - butterflies rising

to be able to let go of you
it feels as if i’d also have to let go
of who i’ve been
…but i think that was your purpose.

no mercy…

the smallest mercy of your absence from my memory

and after
everything,
you won’t even
grant me
the smallest mercy
of your absence
from my memory

she will find him…

there is a man
who will give her all the
love you withheld from her…
and she will find him

i promise, once you learn to love who you are, it won’t hurt anymore…

it won’t hurt anymore

i promise,
once you learn to love
who you are,
it won’t hurt anymore…
all of this pain from the one
who didn’t love you.

you will love you, so it just
won’t matter anymore.

persecution complex…

simply because you stopped letting them hurt you

some people are
convinced they’ve been
hurt by you simply because you’ve
stopped letting them hurt you​

indifference…

indifference to your existence

it was just
this quiet moment of
indifference to your existence…

and that’s when i knew
that i had healed.

when the hurt became too much…

i had to chew you out of my heart when the hurt became too much

the way i used to bite down into your chest when it got to be a little too much… that’s how i had to chew you out of my heart when the hurt became too much.

drive…

you used to drive me everywhere, and nowhere, for hours

Drive…

you used to
drive me everywhere,
and nowhere, for hours,
just so we could talk
about everything, and nothing,
for what felt like forever…

but then you drove this nowhere,
and you left nothing
