Sharing is caring

“If I had a nickel for every time I stayed up too late for someone who would never wake up for me… a penny for every time I had to bend and stretch to prove to someone that I am here, that I exist, my heart would rattle and shake with all of the coins spilling back into it.”

“Divorce is blinding. A child’s eyes covered during love scenes. Sunglasses are missing, still you stare as your favorite stars explode.”

“I. You can tell me You love me In the sunrise And by midday I will think I’m completely Alone. Your love is enough But I feel like I’m not enough for your love. II. I will wake you up At 2 am When I’m stone-cold-sober To say sorry For everything. You won’t know what I’m talking about. Neither will I. Say it’s okay. III. Some days I will tell you I need you to hold me. Tell me I am strong on my own But you’ll be there Just the same. IV. I am and will be Jealous of Everyone and everything That goes on When you’re not with me. Remind me That you care but Never let me make you Feel guilty for not letting Your world revolve Around me. V. When I call you crying One too many times I don’t need advice, Just to know That my tears are not Falling unheard. VI. I will accuse you Of being sick of me, Of being tired of me A lot. And you will spend These conversations Feeling like a broken record. Don’t get bored of me. I’m just scared That you’ll see me The way I see myself. VII. I will never be angry But I’ll get passive-aggressive. If I tell you It doesn’t matter Tell me It matters To you. VIII. I’m not as broken As I often like to think I am. Don’t try to fix me. I still need to learn. IX. I’m afraid of being rejected But don’t stay If you don’t want to. I’d rather be alone Than with someone There out of pity. X. Be patient And let me Grow into your arms.”

“You never apologized to me for hurting me, but I apologized to you 12 times for being angry about it.”
