I look in the mirror and see traces of you
Left behind from years ago
Why did I do it?
Its been too long
You didn’t deserve it
All I got in return was your silence
Could you see through it?
Could you see me?
The image was never clear
You could never see me
Love
Your person
The person you want to live with
The person you want to grow with
The person you want to heal with
The person you want to age with
It’s choosing someone over and over
Never wavering
Complete acceptance of who they are and who they’ll become
This is love

When I first met you I realized two things fairly quickly. One, that I could and would fall for you if I allowed myself to and two, that you would hurt me. It went beyond my trust issues. I could sense it. I could feel it.
Untitled 2
I remember the moment I realized it
A tear escaped, but you didn’t notice
Did you notice?
Could you see it?
You had me at your beck and call from day one
You asked I answered
Just a phone call away
I’m one of many
I want you
I want all of you
I want you even on your bad days
I want your sullen side
The side of you that you hide away from the world
I want the parts of you that you think will make me turn away once exposed
I want you
I want to wake up with you
Be with you
I want to reach around in the middle of night and come across your hand
I want to pull into you
Softly kiss the curve of your nose
I want to look into your eyes
Let you know that you are safe
You are home
Untitled 1
Black and blue
Eyes heavy
I wasn’t meant for this
When I was younger I was light
Pure
Whole
I resembled radiance
I had a good heart despite the ugly
Every person that came and went dimmed me
Unbalanced
It catches the light a certain way and blinds me
Back and forth
Left to right
You built a wall out of fear
Brick by brick
Left me to be crushed underneath it
Only ever giving in just enough to convince me there’s any good in you
The scale always tips in your favor
Kind of sleepy
