#it's telling that the fields of science with higher percentages of women#are the exact fields that male scientists like to dispute

best friend
he could easily fill the silence without becoming desperate for a response
he’s perfect to me. because i hardly have much to say
but i love to just sit and listen
and he understands my quiet demeanor as a proper answer
no pressure to contribute
he gets why i don’t talk a lot, he appreciates the art
of talking about yourself without saying anything of note
i am blessed with the best best friend

untitled- written may 25th
but darling these weekends
are never as fun as they seem
the drunker i am, it feels
the lonelier are my dreams
is it because i’m faded enough to forget you?

maps
my head has a map of places i can't go
entire blocks of my hometown are blocked out
even if i didn't run into you, i fear your scent
i fear cars and crossing streets at night
i fear being too close to the curb
but even bigger than all this, i fear people
because some have your kind eyes
i thought i could trust the look in them
i fear every tinder date and every connection
what if we make a connection too quickly?
what if i like them like i liked you?
i fear exposing all that lies under my ribcage
my lungs that breathed your air
my heart bleeding freely for only you
i'm scared to be in love
i'm scared to be alone
i'm scared of silence
i'm scared of loud noises
i'm scared that i will continue to be a disappointment
every future lover will see what you saw
and i will again feel the coldness in once kind eyes
dear god can i go through life so AFRAID TO LIVE?

At Least I Have Standards Now
i don't need to be yours, i can still be your friend
but i never want the feelings you give me to end
so the next time i fall for somebody new
it'll be a boy who acts exactly like you do
and it's true, yeah i fell in love with you.
i don't want you to kiss me goodnight
if you don't feel the same way, though you might
i don't need to to have such a strong hold
but if i may say something a little bit bold
that it's true, yeah i fell in love with you.
all my life i thought i deserved what i was getting
so many lost loves that weren't even fitting
you're the missing puzzle piece, but we aren't together
i'd still choose you over the sunniest weather
my friend, my dear friend.
i don't need your touch in the morning
but please lemme give you a bit of a warning
when he pulls me in close while half asleep
it's because, like you, he makes my heart leap
though it's true, i have fallen in love with you.
yeah it's true. i have fallen hard over you.
