My Perfect Mistake

I don't check my phone & emails
For signs of you anymore
Unknown caller, withheld number
It's not you -
Of that I'm sure.

I no longer hesitate to ask you
Before I make decisions
Now, in life, the plans I make
Are my choice
And that's a given.

I sleep diagonally across my bed
I don't reach for you in the night
The insomnia that plagued me when you left
Has vanished out of sight.

When your name comes up in conversation
I'm calm & nonchalant
Ensuring my surrounding peers
Know it's no longer you I want.

My life has moved on, and really, I'm happy
Now I'm free of all the heartache
I've made some fuck ups in the past

But you were my one
'perfect mistake'

So I check my stitches daily
The ones I crafted to mend my heart
I'm fearful that just the scent of you
Could tear my handiwork apart

They say that time heals all wounds
But I've heard that one before
It's two years on..
Seems a lifetime's passed...

And I couldn't miss you more.

Starting Again

The Hardest Part of Ending is Starting Again. I had almost forgotten. How to be something more. My heart had gone rotten. Bled out on the floor. As you walked out the door. I fell into despair.

No Longer Home

I only have a few words to say, They echo in the hallways of my head, The ones now left empty And hollow.

Letter To You

I no longer search for you in crowded spaces or hope to get a catch-up call. I no longer bring you up in conversations or wish bad things upon you. I no longer have your old t-shirts or letters.

Back To Me

Feel the rip in my soul. A giant aching, bleeding hole. Sitting here all alone. Selfhating down to the bone. Can't believe this happened to me. Feeling so damn unhappy. Once strong and proud.

Getting Over You.

Let me go and let me cry, Then let the days all pass on by. Let me love and let me lose, Let me know I couldn't choose. Let me pale and let me smile, And let time pass: a little while.

Your Words.

Your words are like poetry in motion,. They soothe souls like a healing lotion,. Wrapping round hearts your words of comfort,. Taking away the negative and the feeling of discomfort,.

Sacred Masterpiece

For each foretold mystery. The card of shame I hold. Tis now I realise peace and tranquility. Is blind to those who lies are told. You are the sweetness of peace. The ever bloom of a mystic flower.
