I’m more likely to write out my feelings
Than tell you to your face
Because I’ve tried that before
And people leave without a trace

Personal Note: Hey stranger, I got your contact the author forms on here. Everything I’ve been posting was written earlier this year. Even if it wasn’t, I sometimes reflect on the past in my writing. Poetry is how I think, so none of this is me reacting out of character. I have almost 500 other poems posted on here that can confirm this is just how I process what I’m feeling. Some things are embellished because it’s art, it doesn’t have to be factual. But I appreciate the apology. There will be more poems, but I think it’s best if you stop reading. You don’t need to feel guilty, I’ve moved on. I’m very happy with my boyfriend, and I’m happy for you that you found your other half. Take care!

Fairy Tales

August 12th, 2024

I have spent all year
Keeping myself at a distance
Loving at an arm’s length
Embracing resistance
Never putting in more effort
Than someone else
Not letting people know me
Or being my true self
Because the last person
That I let myself close to
Left like I was no one
Memories I can’t redo
Now the people I talk to regularly 
Don’t even know my name
I met them through gaming
And they know me as Grimm

Pouring

Another Sunday afternoon
Sitting in my regular coffee shop
A place I’ve felt safe
To release all my thoughts
Are these days numbered
Where will I go
Another coffee shop
With people I don’t know
I want to move
But I don’t want to leave
Will I find a better place
With everything I need
I’m not sure where it will be
And I’m not sure when
But it’s what I need
For a new chapter to begin
