That version of me you’re still in love with,
She died over a year ago

She was caged like a bird
singing at the top of her lungs
but no one could hear the sounds of her screams.
So she chanted louder and louder
until eventually her mouth went numb,
and her voice gave out,
Only then did they begin to listen.
Only then did she realize that they hear you the first time my dear,
no need to keep singing the same tune

His words were bullets
And every time I let him in
He always pulled the trigger
And I always gave him the gun.

They teach us from a young age that cruelty means affection
That if he loves you, he’ll show it through his immature acts of hatred and violence
If he’s mean, he likes you.
If he’s aggravating, it’s because he cares.
So we as women grow up believing neglect is all a part of the process
The more he hurts us the more we fall in love
But listen my dear,
Sticks and stones are just as bad as lies and deceit
No worthy man will ever have to build you up by tearing you down
Don’t ever normalize his actions just to justify yours
And please no matter what you do
Don’t EVER let him steal away your thunder.
P.H.

How sad it is that you made torture and neglect feel like home to me

You broke my wings
And now I can’t seem to fly again without crashing
But I’m still trying my best to fix them...
I really am.

We weren’t supposed to end up this way...
But I guess that’s what happens when your brain tells your heart you can’t.

You said I deserved better
But I didn’t want better
I wanted YOU.

You shut down
Not out of fear of love
Because you were already in it,
But out of sadness,
For it was far too out of reach.
So out of fear of getting hurt again,
To avoid the subject and pain altogether
You shut out anything and everything that reminded you of it
Until eventually
The only thing you had left to shut out
Was me.

You kept saying “we’re gonna be okay”
And you’re right,
We were,
Just not together.
Because it’s come to a point
Where it’s much easier to put out our fire
Than to ignite it anymore.

But my love, if you’re willing to throw it all away over the smallest drop of water in the puddle, maybe you weren’t meant for this after all.

But don’t I deserve better than to be drowning in the tears you gave me
watching you hold on to my life raft but always keeping it for your damn self

Just kiss me like the sun kisses the waves on the shore
Softly and gently
With your warmth against my skin,
Then wrap your arms around me like
The tide crashing into the sand
And don’t let me go
Even for a moment

You told me I was the brightest person you’ve ever met in your life, that might be true but I don’t shine without you
