I sit quietly and think of a thousand poems a million words as many as it takes to bring you back

tumultuous waters in my mind I am swimming calmly for you picking up each river stone searching for clues

did you think you were loveless? undesirable in the eyes of god? so filthy that showers couldn’t clean is that why you drank so much?

drinking, without looking hoping to confuse a bottle laced with poison and by no fault of your own expire on the bathroom floor?

well you eventually did it nobody saw the signs nobody sat you down and read you poetry from sun up to sun up

nobody told you the sun stays in the same place time is an illusion we came up with to tell each other when to move on and when to fall asleep

it’s time to sleep I’ve been reading for hours while you listen silently you could never move on

so now it’s time to rest

“I hate this feeling. Like I’m here, but I’m not. Like someone cares. But they don’t. Like I belong somewhere else, anywhere but here, and escape lies just past that snowy window, cool and crisp as the February air.”

— Ellen Hopkins

“I want to talk about what happened without mentioning how much it hurt. There has to be a way. To care for the wounds without reopening them. To name the pain without inviting it back into me.”
