We’re so desperate for love
So desperate to end lonely
We tend to settle for
Insufficient love
Toxic love
Abusive love
Convenient love
A desperate love
But if we take the time to
fall deeply in love with ourselves
especially in our loneliest moments
Lonely soon becomes just a thing
we actually look forward to
And desperate becomes patience
to wait for love deserving of you

X them out
Close the screen
Don’t leave yourself open
Because they’ll still be there
Just draining your battery
in the background like
an app you didn’t close
X them out
Blueprint
I promise not to smother you
with the kind of love I desire.
I’ll give only the love you require.
The same love outlined within the
blueprint to your soul.
So teach me just how to love you.
Disconnect
We’ve become lost in co-existence.
There was once an undeniable energy
between us that filled the silence.
Now we reach for our devices
when words flee us.
Connecting with others on our feeds
instead of restoring the energy
that used to charge our love connection.
I Know
It takes me a while to fall into
the rhythm of partnership because
I know too well how to be alone.
I know too well how to love myself.
So please be patient babe…
I’ll learn to love you as much as I love me.
I’ll get to know you as well as I know lonely.
