Gravity

You were the sun

I looked up to you

As you would shine your light on me

The slivers of false hope I held onto

 

You were once the light in my life

Now you’re a black hole

Your gravity is pulling me in

 

Every time I try to escape

You shine your light a little brighter

And I fall so easily

For your manipulation

 

Will I ever learn

To live without the light?

Will I ever free myself

Of your gravity?

  • Our Story

    Our story always ends the same

    No matter how many pages I turn

     

    In the end

    I’m the friend in need

    And you’re the main character, always having to help me

     

    I try to rip the pages out

  • Poem 260

    I saw you today

    For the first time in months

    It feels like I haven’t seen you in ages

     

    I used to hope

    We stayed apart

    Never faltering too close to one another

    But as I look into your eyes

  • Yours Again

    When I looked into your eyes

    The memories came in waves

    Drowning out all our flaws

     

    For a moment

    I forgot my resentment

    And became yours again.
