once upon my heart
don’t let yourself float away to the moon
or you’ll miss the flowers under your feet that
bloom
you were so loving once,
upon my bed i lay,
feet kicking
as you typed my doubt away
as you called me beautiful as you called me yours
i miss it
you were so perfect once,
so perfect that it was easy to ignore how
everyone around me hated you
i wish you were still perfect
maybe then i wouldn’t have had to say goodbye
you are my everything
why aren’t i yours?
you tell me that you’re doing your best,
but your best was over the summer when
i was everything to you
when did i become nothing
so unimportant that you stopped texting
stopped calling
you said you were doing your best
you said i just got used to it and now i want more
i deserve more but i want you
i want you to told me in yours arms and kiss me
and tell me how much i matter to you
but you forgot how
i took down all your pictures off my wall
and it hurts to see how empty it is,
that’s how my heart feels
my mom tells me she loves me
and i hate hearing it because it reminds me
of how you’ll never say those words to me again
i just wanted to be your everything
because you are mine
i’m tired of the tears streaming down my cheeks
i’m tired of feeling like this
my heart aching my chest so tight
it’s like i’ve forgotten how to breath
i don’t how to sleep without
your goodnight texts at night
it was a mistake to say goodbye to you
rationally i know it wasn’t but emotionally
i crave you hate myself for letting you go
i let myself float away to the moon
and now i miss the flowers that once
blossomed under my feet
and instead now
melt to ash
