Love, J.
My eyes are heavy
My body is aching
My heart is broken
And it's not fucking fair
I know you like me back
And to be honest,
I think we're meant to be
We're not allowed to talk
so we're not connected
But in the short time I knew you
I felt loved
and,
for the first time
I was happy
now I realize
Happiness is temporary
and I'm meant to be sad
My emotions are like a tidal wave
I'm an unstable mess
but so were you
You were the right person
at the wrong time
in the wrong place
and 'cause I met you in a psych ward
I don't have a say
I liked everything about you
Your adorable awkwardness
Your sweet, sweet smile
You had such an honest way of speaking
I could trust everything you say
I'm trying to let go
but I can't
I can't get over you
no matter what I do
you left an imprint in my mind
I don't think I'll ever forget you
We didn't even get to kiss
Only a silly hand-hug
Because, "Boundries!"
I still regret
not staying longer
I could've
but I went home instead
I'd do anything
literally anything
just to see you again
I miss you so much
and It's eating me up
from the inside out
I'm an empty shell without you
and it's just not the same
Cutting doesn't work
for a sadness this fucking deep
I just want to bleed out
It hurts so much
that I can't even breathe
I'm crying uncontrollably
and I know that's not a manly thing to say
but It's true
I'm hurt.
Love, J.
If you've never been to a psych hospital, you won't really understand a lot of the references. Please be brutally honest in your critique, I want to get better. Don't sugar code please.
