“Let go of the thoughts that do not give you strength”

“I tried so hard to find any other explanation, yet came back to the same conclusion. The agony surpasses heartbreak, to know that the burn of betrayal was inflicted by someone who I trusted so deeply.”

“i’ve begged myself not to write a poem about you, but i don’t listen”

I was torn

“I think somewhere in your sweatshirt I lost myself. I think my heart is still shattered on your bathroom floor. Is your sink still leaking? Is your mind still on her? Have you thought of me? Because I’ve thought about you every night since you slammed your fist through my wall and you promised you didn’t think she was beautiful. You called me before you left and your voice was shaking I asked if you were coming home and I could hear her laugh. You snuck out of her bedroom and kissed me goodnight.”

“I am jealous of those who think more deeply, who write better, who draw better, who look better, who live better, who love better than I.”
