i am a wilted flower trying to bloom into something that i don't know how to be.

my friendship isn’t a one way street. you can’t take and take from me without give me something in return. or you’ll be left sorely disappointed  when i stop doing what you expect.

i have walls built so high they barricade me in so deep, that anyone trying to get past will need to sweat and bleed before i let them through. although, no wants to try. but i don't try either. i keep myself caged within despite the internal yelling and banging of wanting to be free and open.

maybe it’s easier for me to swallow lies than to swallow truth. maybe that’s why i never stop crawling back to you.

[asoftwriting]

you are still my muse. i can write about you like it was just yesterday that you had me under you. is this my way of reminding myself that i enjoyed pleasure most when i was with you? or is this my way of reminding myself that i haven't loved another man since you left my life.

maybe that’s why i still smile so big when i talk you to. || laura a. lawson; day 21 of 365 days of poetry
