if you're reading this, tell your mother i said hello

i stuck the thought of you in a jewelry box

and threw it in the ocean

i didn’t even stay to watch it sink

(unknown)

dollar store watering can

we planted seeds in each other

that we figured were gonna grow

big and strong one day

but when they grew into something nasty

we couldn’t cut them down

(unknown)

meet me in your brother's car

sometimes i wonder

what it would be like

if we were still together

and it feels like a dream

not a nightmare

cells

only six more years

until the cells inside my body

have all regenerated

and there will be no piece left of me

that you have ever touched

(16.06.17)

walk with no sweater

freckled nose smells sun warmed mulch

a year without you

(26.04.17)

just as you leave me

new people come into my life

i am not losing

(01.05.17)

man is not the word

i would use to describe you

i realize that now

(02.05.17)

public transit

there are three things i now know:

1. i know that moving makes me feel like i'm flying,
2. that being alone makes me feel like i'm on fire,
3. and that the hardest thing

is to accept.

to let go.

perhaps, you were good for something.
