Broken
You can't fix what's broken,
So should you start anew?
The pieces are shattered,
Hearts on the floor,
The trust has been stomped on,
You've walked out the door.
You can't fix what's broken,

Four years
Four years.
The first year the devil
Was my best friend
My
Entire
Universe
So close he could see inside my head
See inside my heart
Knew every little secret,
Every part of me

Not jealous, not sorry
Your goal is to make me jealous.
To make everyone jealous.
Even your friends.
Friends? Or followers?
You're all leaders and not very good at it anyway,
And guess how that works out,

The deal
You had my back.
I had yours.
Because that was the deal.
That was our deal.
No negotiating.
No way around it.
That's what it is.
I email you when I shouldn't.

Thoughts
I lie awake in bed
With my thoughts -
No AC and it's hot and humid.
I open a window.
It doesn't help.
I can feel the ghost of you in my every movement.
The blankets you snuggled into,
Just last night.

The more I think
I walk.
I walk in my head.
In my brain,
My thoughts,
My feelings.
I look over
At your hand.
Hmm.
The more I think about it,
The more tingly I get.
Tingly?
Fuzzy?

The Dreams of This Evening
What will you do with your one wild and precious life?
There was June snow
All day today,
Whispering through the air

Safe space
Tears
But you can’t see them.
Maybe you feel them, though
In my forced smile
In my eyes
Teacher to student, but you’ve never made it feel like that
You’ve always made us feel like equals

was there before?
it's hard to remember when/
when the throat begins to scratch at the mouth, begging to be let free
when the stomach begins its churning waves like an upset ocean god

The family you choose
I realized recently
That there’s the family you don’t have a choice in -
Your biological parents, siblings, cousins -
And then there’s the family you do.
The family you share no blood with
But choose anyway.

away
i say goodbye and yet i find myself thinking about you again
i think about you in the weeping willow
singing a song of emotions that i do not know
i wonder if given the opportunity

Bittersweet
I always said that it’d be the best day when I leave this school
But I’m not so sure now.
Sure, it wasn’t always easy,
But I gained so much good:
The best teacher I’ve ever had.
The confidence I always needed.
