I know I’m broken because
I cry in the shower,
though I live alone.
I’m afraid to even
witness my own tears
because if I see them,
If I feel, they will pour like rain.
I know I’m broken because
I’ve been here before.
But I’m not ready to put my
pieces back together because
the time that work requires
could take someone only a
second to break again anyway.
I know I’m broken…
Month: June 2020
Ego
Ego plays the role of mistress
in relationships very well.
Often times it ends up taking
the main spot in the end.
Either you let go of Ego or
let go of your relationship
because the two can’t coexist.
Reminder
Keep doing it. Remind me to live in the
moment instead of giving energy to spaces
we haven’t even stepped into.
I’m a dreamer, sometimes I just get carried away.
I’ll admit, the reminder sort of feels like
some air has been let out of my balloon yet
I’m still filled enough to keep floating
towards whatever we might become…
Just at a much healthier and realistic pace.
Bottle
I want to bottle up the novelty of us
I just want to enjoy these feelings indefinitely
I don’t want bad times to disrupt these vibes.
I don’t want this heat to diminish or worse,
ignite a fire we can no longer control.
I just want to bottle up the novelty of us
Experience
I hope my experience of you will teach me
to hear what’s actually said, not what I choose
and maybe your experience of me will teach you
to just say things clearly without leaving
room for hope you don’t plan on fulfilling.
