I know it’s over
You can keep everything The suitcases of my sweetness The shelves of my care The playlists of the memories of us I used to think it was black or white He loved me or he didn’t I know people talked But everyone knew you loved me I’m leaving just because Just because it’s not easy…

Break
There’s moments when you know you fell in love, then there are moments when you know you’ve fallen out of it. Do you ever argue with someone close to you and it’s at the point where you really question if you’re going to talk to this person again And you’ve already texted a paragraph and…

Glass
After trauma I kept repeating reactions to it as if I was fighting with a ghost. I felt really humiliated when the same experiences happened again. My friends and family looked at me like I was crazy. What’s wrong with her she used to be a smart girl. Why can’t she figure this out. The…

Comraderie
In the fight against the world, we fought on the same side, for the same cause. We’re brothers, you said Then you slept with other girls. You always wanted to be right. In love, you treated me like a woman. I tried to teach you to be my equal. But you only knew how to…

The fall of summer
The taste of apple, kale and ginger reminds me of the first day of fall, maybe even before that actually, more like the first day in the summer when you knew it was ending. The memory of summer feels like one long day that turned into one long night. Warm and hazy, I swam through…

Only human
Everything that I thought love was, ended up to mean, push me to the point where you force me to love myself. Over time I’ve become human. Not an idea or a sentiment or a dream of a perfect world. Not a girl looking out my window wondering if they would ever let me be…

Press you to the pages of my heart
One of the tricky things about overcoming tricky situations is whether or not this was ‘meant’ to teach you a lesson. It’s hurtful in some sense, because it assumes I’m born for suffering and all growth and potential comes at a price. For the last few years I’ve been hiding out, camped far out in…
