love

what is it?

i've always found it

confusing

why

are we tied to

one person

only

why

is romantic love

more important

than friendship

why

do i push people away

yet long

for connection

why

don't you love me

even when you told me

i was your favorite

why

does my heart

keep asking

for answers

from someone

who no longer

speaks my name

why

do i still wait

in the quiet

for a feeling

that was never

mine to hold

maybe

love is just

the wanting

the aching

the learning

to stay gentle

with myself

even when

someone else

cannot be.

  • louder.

    its starting to ring

    the noise in my head

    telling me im feeling

    something i didn't know

    i was capable of.

    its getting louder

    the sirens

    the warning

    i dont have a chance

    at surviving

  • butterfly?

    you had glitter

    spilling out of your mouth

    fine as stardust

    golden as pollen

    falling to the floor

    feeding no one

    you’re wasting yourself

    now all you feel

    is emptiness
