I’m trying not to love you
As you’re telling me I’m worth it
And I’m holding in all my tears
Because everything feels perfect
Telling me this is the bare minimum
When it’s more than I’ve ever received
Feeling like a fairy tale
After how often I’ve been deceived
But I’m scared to get attached
To find out this is only a fantasy
And my past that left me guarded
Is scared that this could be a reality
It’s only been a month
But we talk everyday
And while you’re on the road
I hope you drive my way
Because I can’t wait to feel
My hand inside of yours
Tangled in your arms
A life behind closed doors
I want to spend all day talking in bed
I want your arms to cover me like a blanket
I want you to teach me to love myself
But I haven’t even met you yet

Was There Even An Us?

I wanted you to take me on that stupid date
Where I could wear my new dress
But you asked if we could stay in instead
And we had fun nonetheless
I wanted to get naked with you
But not the kind without clothes
I’d tell you the details of my life
That nobody else knows
I wanted consistency from you
The one thing you asked of me
But you’d cancel, postpone, and even no-show
Us ending was easy to foresee

My Revolution

My life was a series of snoozed alarms
I was keeping everything on pause
With six months of poems that I never wrote
I started to embrace these flaws
I pretended that I wasn’t phased
When tragedy fell wherever I went
Because I followed myself everywhere I’d go
So this is my letter of intent
I can build a better story in my head
So that is what I will do
I’ll put myself through agony
To see how I can make it through
These tears I cry are golden
Because I know I will overcome
These feelings that went unwritten
That I can no longer hide from
