Watch Your Back

Watch your back
Love creeps up behind you and suffocates You with chloroform 
It sneaks in the door like a moth following the light through the crack of the door
It makes you feel like a kid on summer vacation on their way to Disney land 
It feels like that moment you light the candle after cleaning the house 
Love feels like the first hint of the warm sun on the side of your face 
It feels like finding a $100 bill in your pocket
It feel like all the things that make you feel good until it doesn’t. 
When it doesn’t, love feels like someone is stabbing you in the heart every. 
single
Day 
It feels like you have a broken leg but don’t have crutches
It feels like a sore throat
Like someone is stabbing you, 
constantly, in the neck.
Watch your back
Because love is great until it isn’t 
Watch your back 
Because when it’s bad, it’s bad.
And no one is safe.

Better to have loved....

Fall in love they said  It’ll be great they said   But no one ever tells you about the things that aren’t great No one ever tells you that some days you’ll want to punch your significant other in the throat or even in the face.  Some days you’ll want to poke them in the eyes in their sleep.  Or some days you’ll ask yourself why did you choose them?  It’s usually after they do some stupid shit like drop pizza on your white sheets. No one ever tells you that it’s okay to fight, A fight doesn’t mean it’s over.  Sometimes it’s a good thing. No one ever tells you that some days you won’t want to talk to each other, It’s okay, sometimes you need space. No ever tells you to fully commit, put your fears aside and just love  They always say be careful, you can’t trust anyone you know. So you keep your guard up.  No one ever tells you that it’s okay to not be all over social media.  It doesn’t mean he isn’t claiming you, it doesn’t really mean anything.  No one

I fucked up

If I had a time machine id go back in time  Not way back in time  But to the times when I woke up to your angry morning face every morning  Or the times where I'd find you staring at me, I'd ask what and you would tell me how beautiful I was.  Even when we fought, you never failed to forget to remind me of my beauty  I would go back to the time when you sang bob marleys "is this love" to me in a room full of people You asked me to dance, I said no But if I could go back We wouldn't have gotten off the dance floor  I would want to go back to the first day you ever told me you loved me. I brushed it off because I didn't want you to think I was making a big deal about it, But inside I was doing my James Brown dance.  I would go back to the times where I spent my spare time watching Netflix and getting high with you everydayu I would go back to the times when you would hold me close to you every night  And the times when you would rub

Living

Every morning I wake up and have one moment of pure bliss One very short moment of happiness A moment where everything is the way it’s supposed to be But then I remember I remember every bad thing that has happened  I remember that you’re gone  I remember the reasons we broke up I remember the stress from the night before From a few weeks Shit, from the future I remember my trauma Sometimes, I even have flashbacks I remember that where I am at today is the result of my own choices Choices I made based on the circumstance I was in The head space The pressure The potential Choices I made because I thought I knew what was best I also remember the good moments The happy-exciting-super fucking fabulous moments And I smile Then I cry Because the pain is still there. I can’t wait to wake up one morning and revel in the blissful moment I can’t wait until that short moment because a long moment Which then becomes a familiar feeling And then before I know it, The pa
