I’ll make you a bracelet
it’ll be blue and purple
like mine
it’ll have your nickname
four little beads tied into it
i don’t have the supplies at the moment
if i did you would be wearing it right now
but ill make it so good
i’ll tie it so well it never breaks
like how my love for you never did
i know you thought i talked bad
but i didn’t
i still don’t
i talk about you
like we’re still friends
i sa...
I sent you three pictures
of us
in one i had duck lips
the next a closed lip smirk
and the last a full bright smile
you replied to that one
and said it was your favorite
you posted a picture of us
out of all the homecoming photos we took
you chose the one
with my teeth sparkling in the cameras flash
I’ve spent years
locking my real smile away
and pursing my lips
never to show my teeth again
but yo...
you called me
and we explained why we did the things we did
i told you how you hurt me
you apologized
you told me why
if you had just told me
while it was happening
we could’ve avoided
so much heart wrenching pain
but no
we worked things out
and i’m so happy we did
truly
but you told me something
so peculiar
you did want to take me to that dance
not just as friends
but more
you told everyone e...
A heart cannot beat once it’s been broken too many times
we carry our hearts
filled with love
pain
hurt
we hold them so they don’t
burst at the seems
emotions flowing from within
sometimes our hearts beat too fast
when we’re scared
or excited
it’s the same reaction
just a different feeling
a heart can also be stabbed
blood gushing
cut deep
a heart can merely be nicked
a small cut
that can heal
b...
Once stuffing food into my mouth
not caring about carbs
or calories
people around me
who liked to eat too
different spices
flavors
bursting on my tongue
until eighth grade
it was like
when everyone stopped wearing
our white uniform polo
i did too
i never cared about which was which
until everyone else did
lunchtime was my favorite time of day
where i got to laugh with my friends
and eat a full ...
I dreamt of you last night
it was lovely
we were at school
i told you i missed you
and i was sorry
you said it was okay
you texted me later that night
i woke up
you weren’t there
come back
come back
come back
i want you to come back
i want you to tell me why you didn’t talk to me
i want you to tell me
why you would want to
tell me what i did
i don’t know
i talked to you
the day before school star...
I’m not supposed to be the oldest
You are
you’re never around
but when you were
you made it known
you hated me
you told me
you showed me
you were never around
so i have to be the oldest
IM the one who holds them
when our parents fight
IM the one who watches them
when no one else will
IM the one who picks them up from the bus
because you’re not here to do it
I never had anyone
to do that for me
i ...
You are
Lovely
everything about you
is my favorite
i love your hair
light brown
so soft when my hands run through it
it feels like cotton candy
I love your eyes
green like the forests
deep
filled with untold stories
you’ll tell me one day
i love the birthmarks on your neck
i love your cupids bow
it gives you the sweetest smile
that made me fall in love with you
at first glance
i love your abs
sc...
I will try
harder
than i ever have before
if you just tell me why
why you stopped talking to me
and why you were so
cruel
when you did
why did you ignore me
on the first day of school?
on the bus
when i tried to talk to you
you kept looking away
i felt like an idiot
i thought we worked things out
last year
you said we did
i apologized so many times
i included you more
i told you i loved you
and id...
I love the life i’ve built for myself
I’m truly happy
I smile
This time it’s real
My lips don’t hurt from holding it
for so long
I love my friends
Our laughter ringing in my ears
so light and delicate
I could make a dance to it
although there will always be
one thing missing
I too told myself I moved on
thought it just isn’t meant to be
no closure or anything
just being ignored the day we go back ...
