The thing is,
You owe me
your time
and I owe myself
the time I wasted
on you.

-

We are taught
to apologize
way too often
that "sorries"
are just innate responses
of our behaviours.

-

I don't keep my feelings
locked inside me
anymore.

I let them roll
in my house.

The cupboards
guard Sadness,

and the floor
brushes Pain.

I hang my dreams
on the wall.

and those wilting pots
store my hopes.

-

Part of me
that you took away,
I hope you open it
tear it apart,
and throw it away.
I no longer want to exist
in fragments I once
was too scared to lose.

° RAT STORY

-

When you count apologies
as changed behaviour
or sorries
as an excuse to your lies.

I see healing
as a burden too.

-

How do you read warning signs
painted in red,
when all your life,
you ran from empty black
inside your head.

-

I recollect
every memory
every dream
just to still
hold on.
As wretched as it is,
I need my pain.

-

Regrets are the
excuses
We tug so close to,
we forget
what living feels like.

Now that we're alone,
Love travels from my fingers
to my phone
where I type a message
and dont press send.
But, this love doesnt die
as I keep it alive
in Drafts.
