Leaving Peacefully. @the-stranger-inside - Tumblr Blog

Oh, I am alone, but not the kind that wears loneliness like a flag and waits for rescue.

I am simply alone.

I count the hours until the world grows quiet enough to hear my own breathing.

I pray. I truly pray. One by one, I make peace with my sins.

No one has ever learned the geography of my chaos.

I loved someone once. But loving and knowing how to love have never been the same thing.

Perhaps that is why I remain here.

Once, I was made of a thousand different selves.

Now I am almost nothing.

And somehow,

almost nothing has become enough.

How dare you say you loved me, look at me that way, then swear I was never yours before you walked away?

This isn't rage, or wounded pride. It's my voice, choking in the dark, begging: come back tonight.

What do you want? My blood? My soul? My bones beneath your own?

Here. Take them.

Tie me to the edge of your life. Find me in the rain, keep me through the light.

You were a fool to think I'd never fall. I did. God, I still do.

Now I'm older, working, coming home to every sound except your voice.

One day, kick down that damn door. Drag me by my collar.

I was never anyone else's. My heart has never known a home without yours.

Two states apart, half a lifetime apart. still loving someone who lets the wind carry me away.

Under the codename Lily,

you have no idea how I see you.

I hide you inside every poem, every verse, every quiet corner of a page.

You never notice.

Blind like a night bird caught beneath the morning sun.

I loved the taste of your coffee. I loved the way passion fruit jam found perfect balance in your hands.

And somehow, so did I.

God, let this be my madness. Let me be the only one who ever felt it this deeply.

My calendar overflows. I sign another stack of papers. Traffic keeps moving. The coffee grows colder and more bitter.

Still, I miss you.

The cruelest thing I have ever learned is that my worst enemy has always been myself,

because I could never stop loving you.

Don’t use AI to write. Use childhood trauma like a real poet.

healing does not require pretending it never happened.

Let’s bring back meaningful romance. I’m tired of everything being about lust.

Always a plus when your tumblr crush likes your post you made for them specifically!

I'm not yearning for anyone...

I'd like to believe you know that not everything I write is about you... insert ridiculous line about that 'you're so vain song' here, ya know?

I'd like to believe that you'd know that I've lived more life in my years than the brief time you knew me and the few moments you knew about... I'd like to believe you know that. I'm aware of it and it goes both ways...

I'd like to believe that you're intelligent enough to understand that art is subjective and often times the writer pulls from several different experiences and points of inspiration.

I'd like to believe a lot of things... however, here it is.

P.S. Communication is the best life raft...
