Bittersweet

Bittersweet
Clinging
to a summer’s
sweetened brew.

Honeydew strung tightly,
holding the appearance
of contentment.

It is hard to imagine, 
that this was home once.

A Pickle Without Ridges

I don’t remember
where my good thoughts
have gone.

Like a pickle
without ridges,
that’s slipped so nimbly
out of my hands.

Hush

stories left untold,
by words that cannot speak
phrases never listened to
by sounds that cannot hear
silence is our enemy
one we shouldn’t fear

My First, and Only Breakup (from the POV of the girl who broke my heart)

2/7/2021

Send. 
How long would it take for her to see it? 
What would she say? 
Was I too blunt? 
Was this too cruel? 

Of course it was. 
I was about to break 
her 
heart. 
Just because
I could. 

“It’s okay”
No
it wasn’t ‘okay’. 
She doesn’t hate me. 
Or so she says. 
She should. 
I hope she does. 

How could I do this? 
I could’ve moved on 
I should’ve 
moved on. 
I couldn’t. 
And now 
every 
single 
thing 
that I ever said to her
was just another lie. 

She’d wait for me
But I can’t wait for her
Because I’m 
already 
gone. 
And I’m never coming back.
