So I Stay Quiet

I have so many

Questions.

But I’m too

Afraid of the

Answers.

Rain

I'm standing on the edge

Of a forever I never knew

I would ever see.

And then I see it- Reality.

The broken promises

And hidden lies.

The shredded hearts

And blurred gray lines.

The shadows creeping

Inside my sullen brain,

Staring out the window

At a world drowned in rain.

But At Least I’m Living

I have lived

So long

For other people...

I don't know

How to live

For myself.

Fighting

You're fighting so hard.

You want to change who you are.

I don't understand why you can't see how perfect you are.

I don't understand why you hate yourself.

I don't hate you.

I love you, exactly as you are.

I know how selfish you are.

I know how mean you can be.

I know how twisted your mind can get.

But I love you, anyway.

I love you because you're flawed, you're human, you're REAL.

So why are you fighting?

Warm

I convince myself

That nights are

Colder without

Your body heat,

But the truth is

That it's warmer

When I'm not

Fighting for the

Blankets anymore.

Out of Reach

Loving you

Is a cruel joke.

It is everything

I ever wanted,

Kept just beyond

My fingertips.

Right Here

Some days I ache,

Trying to remember

The feel of your skin

Beneath my hands.

Other days it's

A memory so clear

It takes my breath,

As though you're

Right here with me.

Growing

I am learning

That growing up

Means growing

Apart as well.

Believing

I'm sorry that I'm

A storm in a teacup,

And I'm sorry

That you can't fix me.

But I have to believe

You can love me

Despite everything,

Because I have

Nothing else to

Believe in anymore.

Forget

Sometimes

I forget how

To love you,

Because I

Don't know

How to love

Myself.
