• A Good Man and a Good Woman

  Heartbreak Like the depths of anxiety and depression Feels so exquisite Like 1600 volts through the heart The organ of remembering His best friend died Buried six feet in your brain That you didn’t know how to touch The space he left because he knew how to feel those things When I think of how…

• 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…
