People You May Know

May 1st, 2025

Scrolling through suggested friends
There are people who are there for a reason
The past plays in my mind like a show
Full of people who only lasted a season
Profiles available to quietly remember
Even when they’re not your friend
Easy to get caught up longing the past
When you can still see where they’ve been
The last person I slept next to
But I can barely remember his voice
It’s been over a year since I heard from him
And I hate that it was his choice
He celebrated his anniversary recently
With the girl that he ghosted me for
And even if I still missed him
There’s no going back to before
Now he lives in a place that I’ve never been
Where no trace of me still lingers
Unless he still has my keyboard and mouse
With memories at the tip of his fingers
And I know that I should stop looking
It’s healthier to just let him go
But I hate when someone I loved
Turns into People You May Know

Drown

April 14th, 2025

This is cliche but it didn’t kill me
I’m just done with this silence
I’m over your inconsistency
Knowing I’ll never find reliance
As the feelings come in waves
I accept that I am broken
And my words won’t change anything
So I leave them unspoken
No one can fix me except myself
But that’s a job that I keep failing
Because I gave you power over me
And then you kept bailing
Maybe it’s the loneliness
That’s making me feel haunted
I just wish it wasn’t you
Who made me feel unwanted
Even though I want to tell you this 
It’s easier to not bring it up again
Because I never asked for anything
And you couldn’t even be a friend
It didn’t even need to be a horizon
You could’ve brought me anything
Now this is the third year in a row
Where you won’t know me in spring
You decided to let me drown
But I know what people say
That it needs to rain in April
To enjoy the flowers in May

Feral

March 21st, 2025

I’m not sure why I did it again
But I held my hand out to a stray
Who’s never known love
Only knows how to run away
I try to get closer
I try to gain their trust
They’re skittish in nature
So I try to readjust
Inching to close the distance
Maybe show them affection
But they retreat away
From any form of connection
