I haven’t seen you in months 

but here I am still writing about you.

I thought I had given up on 

letting boys who don’t love me

take up home in my head

But here you are still as my houseguest. 

-Sept 2020

I’m so lonely baby

Can’t you just hold me 

a little longer tonight.

We lay together

and I watch your chest rise

While you breathe 

So peaceful

You’re a safe harbor

I want to rest in.

 

-July 2020

I break my heart for you

so I can give it to you in pieces 

when you’re feeling low.

Don’t overthink

as I kiss your scars

Know that I love you as you are.

 

 

-May 2020

Do you think about me 

when you can’t sleep at night?

Does looking at my pictures 

help you feel close enough

As you keep your distance?

I know you won’t love me 

but I wish you would.

 

-July 2020

I gave you far more credit than you deserved

You’re just a boy too scared to move.

It’s been this way since you were 17

No more complicated than a boy

who didn’t get along with his father

but refuses to grow in his own space.

 

-July 2020

I think about you all the time

Wondering if you’ll ever let me

Call you mine.

I want to make memories in your home

I want you to think of me when you’re all alone.

 

-June 2020

I’m waiting on a text that doesn’t come

You ask me to stay longer in your warm bed 

Than you’re ice cold by next week.

You hover on the out skirts of my life

Not sure if you really want to leave

But refusing to come any closer.

Just a ghost haunting me 

Instead of coming into the light.

 

-July 2020

I didn’t sleep at all last night.

I couldn’t stand to sleep beside you

when you’ve hurt me so carelessly and cruelly.

How could you do this to me baby?

How could you break off 

a piece of my heart like this?

Has it all been a lie now or just the past three months?

 

-July 2018

Life was taken from me 

and it turned into a hollow man

But you’re breathing life back into me babe

Because of you I can finally chisel away 

at this chip on my shoulder.
