i wish i could say i haven’t dreamt of you nearly every night since you forced me to say goodbye in order to save what remained of my shattered heart
-for all the love that used to be here, and the empty space left in its absence c.r.

“You can’t make someone love you by giving them more of what they already don’t appreciate.”
“Somewhere, someone is falling in love with a person who loves them back after a whole winter of being alone and broken. It is the earth’s magic to make people trust in the warmth of love again.”

Break
I can't forgive you
she says
months after
telling me there was
a chance.
Months after
Put everything
into showing that I saw
the error of my ways.
After months of break ups
and make ups
and I'm sorries
and I'll do betters
and hurtful words
shouted upon my bowed head.
Months that I survived
knowing this angry beauty
was not my beloved
but an animal
of my own creation.
That if I did enough
loved hard enough
repented enough
my beloved would stand
before me again.
But after a million glimpses
of hope
a thousand almost
goodbyes.
Something is different.
I'm not sure what.
My heart is breaking harder this time.
