I just want to break something the way you broke me.

Last Kiss
When we kissed,
You knew it’d be for the last time.
When we kissed,
I was just happy to see you again.

Falling
When the leaves fell,
We did too.
When it got cold,
Our love did too.
We did too.
When it got cold,
Our love did too.

We Are
Our love is:
The changing of seasons
Dancing in candlelight
Soft touches
Hungry kisses
Letters in the mail
Ethnic food in bed
Paragraphs of text
Tight hugs
Longing looks
Growing
And growing
And growing
The changing of seasons
Dancing in candlelight
Soft touches
Hungry kisses
Letters in the mail
Ethnic food in bed
Paragraphs of text
Tight hugs
Longing looks
Growing
And growing
And growing

New Love
He touches you like you have life’s answers tattooed on your skin in Braille.
He kisses you like the last supply of oxygen lives in your lungs.
He kisses you like the last supply of oxygen lives in your lungs.

Body
My worth is skin deep.
You only love what you can see.
So I put on a bikini,
Because when I do, I know you’ll tell me that you “miss me.”
My value is in diet pills,
And drunk sex,
And vodka spills on my tied up tee shirt.
Letting you use me even though I know I’m the one who will get hurt.
I am more than a body,
But that’s not why you like me.
Close my mouth and spread my legs,
Just for you to leave me on read.

Road Construction
Depression froze into the cracks of my foundation and expanded,
But unlike road construction,
No one was there to patch me up in the spring.
But unlike road construction,
No one was there to patch me up in the spring.

Gone too Soon
It all started in summer.
I beheld you, so pure, so full of life and color.
We skipped to recess hand in hand.
Jumped off swings.
Climbed up trees,
And built castles in the sand.
You told me you felt fall coming.
Not seeing the wear on your sneakers,
Or what you were outrunning,
I told you I was excited for the changing of leaves.
I wish I could tell you how pretty the snow was in winter,
Or how my world went cold without you.
All I have left of you is the knowledge of what I should do with another birthday...
I beheld you, so pure, so full of life and color.
We skipped to recess hand in hand.
Jumped off swings.
Climbed up trees,
And built castles in the sand.
You told me you felt fall coming.
Not seeing the wear on your sneakers,
Or what you were outrunning,
I told you I was excited for the changing of leaves.
I wish I could tell you how pretty the snow was in winter,
Or how my world went cold without you.
All I have left of you is the knowledge of what I should do with another birthday...

Trust
They say that trust is a two way street,
That conjoining road is a place I yearn meet.
But you don't trust me and I don’t trust you,
So, meeting on that street would be a hard thing to do.
That conjoining road is a place I yearn meet.
But you don't trust me and I don’t trust you,
So, meeting on that street would be a hard thing to do.

lonely
Losing you is slipping into an old sweater.
It’s comfortable.
It’s familiar,
But it’s not quite enough to weather the icy grip that comes with it.
Because, you see, loneliness has been my oldest friend.
And no matter how many times I ignore her messages
she always shows up for me.
It’s comfortable.
It’s familiar,
But it’s not quite enough to weather the icy grip that comes with it.
Because, you see, loneliness has been my oldest friend.
And no matter how many times I ignore her messages
she always shows up for me.
