The pill I must swallow

You were such a

huge part of my life

And now you're just gone...

We're back to being strangers...

And almost 3 years later

I just can't wrap my head

around that u-turn we did

It's crazy and weird to me how quick

we went from lovers to strangers

It's been harder to accept

this than death itself

I miss...

I miss the sound of your voice

I miss having my phone on charge

to keep speaking to you for hours

I miss the video calls we'd have

that would last from

the late evening until lunch

time the very next day

I miss our lockdown conversations

I miss teasing you...

I miss telling you to how

pretty you are when your

hair is in it's natural state

I miss telling you to wear

your natural hair more often

and to embrace your curls more

I miss being the one you call when

you have a fight with your dad

I miss calming you down whenever

you have a horrible panic attack

I miss being protective over you

I miss worrying about you

I miss staring at you on purpose

so you can ask me why I'm staring

and so I can have a reason to

tell you how beautiful you are

I miss our inside jokes

I miss our bond

I miss us

I miss you

Please call me by mistake

Get my hopes up...

Tell me you still love me

Tell me you miss me too...

Angry bird

The droplet of love

That remained for you

Is diluted with acceptance

A strong acknowledgement

that you weren't ready

for me then and you're not

ready for who I am now

Which isn't necessarily

a bad thing...

It's just the way things

have come to be...

The air around me is sweet

The sun no longer shines

for the "us" we were

She shines for me

I'm sorry...and no I don't care

if it hurt you to leave

But the reality is...

You never deserved me

I'm not mad enymore...

I've healed that bleed

I've patched the artery

It's about time I open the cage

And set that angry bird free

Empty Chalice

You arrived

Helped me regain my balance

Told me...

"Love isn't supposed

to be a challenge"

Kissed my cheek

Put the strength

back in my knees

Left with the breeze

And said...

"Darling remember...

Love can't be

measured in malice..."

"If only you could see...

our love was an empty chalice"

Eventually

Hyper vigilant

Hyper aware of this body

These hands...

This heartbeat

It is all normal

Yet I feel some kind of

lingering lurking anxiety

An energy...An entity

Following me...

That thing is me...

I can't seem to set myself

free from the shaking

The chains of OCD

The sound of jingling

thoughts in this head

Like piggybank pennies

A sudden clanging in my chest

I'm scared...

and I don't know why

Scared of sleep...

Terrified of random

but normal things

Like this heart and it's job...

Scared of the strings that tie me

to this secondhand shivering

This inherited lip quivering

I'm slowly slipping into the sea

Almost drenched in worry

Saying goodbye to my sanity

Thinking "I'll drown eventually"

Pain won't let me forget

What a shame it is,

to write about regret

About how our love

became a tragic mess

About the rubble we left

What a shame it is,

to write less about

Love as something beautiful

But more as an unwanted guest

What a shame it is to want

our love to be remembered fondly

But instead...the pain

won't let me forget

Can both be done

in a single breath?

Reality

It's dark

I'm pacing around

my room at 3am

Typing "I don't wanna lose you"

Finally pressing send

I hear a ping and read

"Please don't hurt me again"

"I don't wanna go back

to being just friends"

Just the night before

We were cuddling

under constellations

Tired with bloodshot eyes

Staring at the night sky

Our heart's were elated

Then you asked if my heart

was still broken and frozen

If I still thought about that

painful past moment

I said "Well, the snowflakes

have melted months ago"

"Thanks to you I have a home

and finally feel whole"

"Stop pretending

you've forgotten how

to hold my hand" she teases

I smile...take her hand and say

"You're all I've ever needed"

But today we're fighting

I simply just don't know

I wish I wasn't so attached

I wish I learnt to let go

Expectation

It's dark

I'm pacing around

my room at 3am

Typing "I don't wanna lose you"

Finally pressing send

I hear a ping and read

to being just friends"

It's the night after

We're cuddling

under constellations

Tired with bloodshot eyes

Staring at the night sky

Our heart's are elated

Then you ask if my heart

14

I write...

I document

I scribble every moment...

And I remember when

14 year old me's world fell apart

I still hear the cracking

The shattering of his heart

I ache for him...

He was so giving...

Always giggling

Always believing...

Always daydreaming...

I want to be like that again...

I want to be his friend...

I want to tell him

"Love won't always leave you"

"Love never really ends" - j.james

Not the same teens

In some ways

It's sad that we're not

who we used to be

We changed

We aged

We're not those

same naive teens

We're not to blame

It's okay to be deranged

We're out of place

We're uncaged

Finally free

It was real for me

One minute I was convinced

we were definitely in love

In haste we fell...

Yet you dropped me just as fast

You didn't even think before

breaking my heart

It was over in an instant

Trauma was your parting gift

And with how quick you dipped

I'm convinced...

you didn't cry for me

I'm convinced...

you didn't feel a thing

This unforseen plot twist

derailed my dreams

And it oh how I began to bleed...

My heart screamed in agony

because it was real for me

I can't decide

If I'm homesick for a person

Or simply lovesick because

I'm addicted to her poison - j.james
