my heart
lies awake
all night
in the dark
waiting
for you
even though
my mind
has attempted
to explain
to it
too many times
that you are not
coming back.
ever.
not when the
sun rises
and not when
it sinks
not when the
tide turns
and not when
the stars realign.
my heart,
she does not listen
to reason.
she only remembers
the sound of
your heart
and how it
would beat
against yours.
she knows
what you sound like
smell like
and how warm
you feel.
she wants you
back.
stupid.
she has forgotten
the bruises
you marked her with.
(convenient, huh?)

A Little Too Personal...
One crisp October morning at the height of the very beginning of 2010s, Tumblr girls, skinny waists and drug habits, our high school psychology teacher dropped a ticking bomb on us by admitting that “I’m jealous of those of you that are of a 100% origin.”
