Alone in the darkness,

With nothing but my thoughts,

I wonder what it is

That I am truly sought.

Is it love,

Or just a fleeting affection?

Do I yearn for companionship,

Or simply my own reflection?

The silence is deafening,

As my mind starts to race,

I ponder the mysteries of life,

And try to keep pace.

But in this solitude,

I find a certain peace,

The ability to simply exist,

And to let my worries cease.

For in the end,

We all must go alone,

So perhaps being by myself,

Is the way to truly atone.

And so I embrace the stillness,

And welcome the quietude,

For being alone allows me

To truly brood.

“When I like people immensely I never tell their names to any one. It is like surrendering a part of them. I have grown to love secrecy. It seems to be the one thing that can make modern life mysterious or marvelous to us. The commonest thing is delightful if one only hides it. When I leave town now I never tell my people where I am going. If I did, I would lose all my pleasure”

i saw you wearing the same sweater we bought together

back when were still friends

back when i was your first priority

you convinced me to get matching clothes

matching bracelets

matching necklaces

do everything together

because we’ll be friends forever

we were unbreakable

you poisoned my mind

made me feel unloveable

so i wouldn’t leave you

like i was the one who needed you

i’m not pretty enough

i need to fix my teeth

my face

i need to wear less make up

“you’re invisible” you’d joke not knowing my mind will echo your voice even after years

i spent half my life with you

all the moments that i’m supposed to be nostalgic about are ruined

my school years

and i can’t think about them without remember how easily you discarded them

for a guy who wouldn’t treat you right

i know it’s for the better

i know it’s for the better

i was half relieved i got rid of this toxic friendship

but you’re still the ghost in the room of every friendship i have reminding me

you’re not enough

you’ll be replaced

you’re microscopic

you’re the second choice

always will be

i hate him i hate him so much

i hate every breath the he inhales

and every breath that he exhales

i hate his lungs for working

i hate his mind, the way he thinks

i hate his presence and every word the comes out of his mouth

i hate his mean words that destroyed me and even worse his nice gestures when he’s apologizing

i hate that he’s not haunted by his past mistakes

that he doesn’t suffer like i do

that he gets to live his life

have a wife

he doesn’t have to second guess people’s intention

his heart didn’t three years ago and wasn’t the same again

he’s not haunted in his dreams

he doesn’t lash out on other people as if it were their fault

his youth wasn’t wasted

or maybe it was

maybe his dad cheated on his mom

maybe it broke it heart the way it did mine

maybe he’s so scared of getting cheated on that he decided to cheat first
