i am not going to censor myself for you

if you don't like me

coloring outside the lines,

just get rid of them

Is it love?

It's too soon

I don't want to feel this yet

It's happening to quickly

You make my smile

You make me laugh

I love talking to you

I love your voice

We have so much in common

But I don't know what this is

Is it love

Or is it admiration

Maybe just lust

Please If it is love

I hope you feel the same

over & out

i am writing about the end of us

and you are going to read it.

goddamnit, you are going to read all of this

until your eyes bleed

as much as my heart.

this is the end of us.

i promise.

i will not write any more

damn metaphors

about how you were the sea,

rolling waves with your tongue

when you spoke.

i will not talk about how badly i wanted to be the shore you crashed into, or how much i begged you to collide with me, just once, just once.

i won't write about the hurricanes that pulsed through my heart every time you looked at me, or the damage you caused me when you looked away.

no.

i will not write about any of that.

i promise.

i won't speak of how your eyes were the starry nights van gogh wished he'd painted, and i sure as hell won't talk about how you were a masterpiece and your fingertips were the mosaic i wanted to put together forever. i won't write about how you were my mona lisa.

i won't write about you again. i promise.

The Artist’s Curse

She didn't want to

be art, but she was left to

dry, her spine braided.

My pain becomes numb

Everything hurts

I don't want to move

You left your mark

What did you want to prove

All you did was insult me

When I gave you my all

But you didn't care

When I brought down my wall

You knew it was hard for me

But you always insisted

I trusted you

But your trust for me never existed

You broke me

I can't forgive you

My cheeks permanently stained

With the tears that made it through

This pain I feel

Seems never ending

But soon I'll become numb

To the love you were pretending

Petal-Eyed

Petals sprout from my

eyelids when I see you; I

write better in love.
