You said I was special
You said I was your best friend
How was I supposed to know
You didn't mean until the end?
You told me I'm amazing
You told me how much I helped you
None of that matters now
After everything, we're through

"i want to go home"
i repeat what feels like hundreds of times.
in my own house, my own room.
my own bed.
if this isnt home, where is it?
i know where my home is.
home is your house, your room.
your bed.
home was your arms.
home was the orange glow of your salt lamp,
home was your tapestry,
home was watching the sun rise from your floor.
i dont think ill ever go home again.

Maybe if I go to the sea the salty air will pull every bit of you out of my lungs. Maybe the unforgiving waves will take every trace of you out of me with the tide. and I will finally be at peace.

Today traces of you wouldn't leave my mind. I thought of you  a thousand times,  rewrote for you  a thousand rhymes,  and still I couldn't  fill these lines  with you.

Ive been seeking leftover parts of you in other people's bed, but i guess thats the way life goes when you refuse to count your last cigarettes as blessings.
Ive been digging holes in my backyard and then forgetting what i was meant to bury in the first place, and the lemon tree has been using the soil as a starting point.
This isnt your fault because if it was id have to admit you were ever real in the first place, but it isnt my fault either because i dont want it to be. 
When you see me next tell me what you thought about when you first tasted the blood you licked from my wounds.
-if i couldn’t find your reflection in the mirror i’d draw it in

Our love lives on in my memories
My hopes and dreams go racing and crashing
Bright white ice burning with a long smoky tail
A comet in the sky of what could have been
Coming too close to the sun
I once wished on a star to meet the love of my life
And realized that I've known her all along
This grief means it mattered
Healing is my gift from me, to me
I love you but I love myself more
I love you but I love myself more

It’s not that I miss you less
Now that time has passed since I’ve lost you
It’s like walking with a limp
I have merely learned to live with it’s existence

Clarity
I reread the letter today- you dont know the one
I wrote it when you split my heart in two,
It told you I was done.
It's sitting in my journal now, hidden in plain sight
In which I detail all the ways you've hurt me
That I've lacked the strength to fight
I always find myself crawling back to you, with my dignity in the dirt
But all of that is over now
I'm done with all the hurt
I'm leaving you behind me now,
I'm giving all my love to me
And I'm apolozing to my broken heart
For how long it took to see.

“today i saw you, i didn’t feel the butterflies and i didn’t want to kiss you. i just saw you and you were like every boy in the world, and i swear it was your fault”

It was growing cold when we fell
It was desolate when you broke me
Left me alone to face the cold
But the dawn is near
The days are growing warm
Spring is here
And I'm not alone anymore

What happens when I finally blossom into the woman you’ll only ever know in your dreams?

You blamed me for not finding the words to make you stay...
I blamed you for not finding the will.

the lines between love and grief have been blurred because i have loved you and you have loved me and yet your place with me has been overgrown with spikes and thorns that pierce fearlessly
