Pyromaniac

Being replaced by something beautiful, something younger me would have wished for; holding my breath and closing my eyes as I dropped the penny into the fountain, grinning as I awaited it to happen.

But then you showed up and you changed that. T...

Goodbye Before I Knew It
We had a rocky friendship
I can’t deny
But I believed
We’dstay close
We had to
Somehow stumbling
Through highschool and life
It didn’t matter
As long as we were together
But as my final text
Was left on read
I knew it was the end
I saw your account show up on my feed, and I shouldn’t have, but I opened it. You looked happier, much more than you did with me. And I should have been happy for yo...
