i dont have
much poetry in me today
just a deep exhaustion
a need to rest
and hope that someday
i may

realizing that my first love
will not be my last
has been the most painful and beautiful experience
i've ever gone through

i will never
let you back in
or so i say
the truth is
no matter how much
i've grown stronger
and changed for the better
if you really wanted to
your curly hair
and silver fire eyes
could probably
steal
my
heart
right back
as if you had never
broken it 3 times over
in the first place

i love myself
isn't that poetry
enough?

**** him
i wanna take
my own breath away

I spent too much time
wondering if he still loved me
That I forgot to ask
if I still did

what a relief it is
to see a woman
who wears my favorite shoes
walk into the office
of Madame Vice President
