#heart ache

[crumbs-and-biscuits]

Once again, I must remember my place in the world.

My tongue feels heavy in my mouth, thick with unspoken words that I will forget in the morning.

[esotericectasy]

Im leaving. Don’t come looking for me. Bye.

[sheymaaaaa]

[bushwookie2]

I cast my sweet whispers into the wind,

Will they reach you?

Or will the wind answer me with a cold howl….?

Wishing Keeps Me Here

I wonder if you’re feeling the same,

your thoughts pacing the room,

wondering if this was the right choice.

Do you bargain—

for a moment of relief—

replaying every second of our days?

Shared routines ache,

begging to be filled

just to smother the silence.

My body thinks you’re missing, not gone.

My pulse doesn’t understand logic,

sweats you out like a drug

it isn’t done needing.

My heart still expects you—

morning texts,

calls before appointments,

movie nights,

the small inventory of our days.

I know you’re out there

in a parallel room,

wishing I were right next to you.

And I’d be lying

if I said I didn’t wish the same—

even knowing wishing

is what keeps me here.
