love poems
Love poems for hopeless romantics; I'm the poet and you're my muse.
For the ones who stayed soft… even when it hurt.
This piece hit me in a place I didn’t realise was still tender. There’s something quietly devastating in the way it unpacks the effort of becoming smaller — of swallowing your voice, your needs, even your pain — just to keep someone close. We’ve all been there, haven’t we? Laughing when we wanted to break. Nodding when everything in us wanted to scream.
