This Is Going To Hurt

 

There is something about you

and I

that makes my body hum like a

cave of wings

 

I am a different person around you

I am someone I lost

I am better

 

how I have changed..

like kissing you at Dairy Dell in front of 

a line of people

or holding your hand on a bench in the park

 

and my heart is so convoluted 

yet you are heading straight there

at the speed of stars

i can barely breathe and 

it doesn't even matter how bad it hurts 

and will hurt 

 

all things fall apart

so keep picking me off

day by day 

until I say stop

 

sometimes I wish I'd never met you

beautiful and sweet, and

beautiful and sweet, and always full of honesty.  i hate to assume things about strangers, but after reading so much of ur poetry i think you're stronger than you realize.  i hope i'm right :)

Quite right. This past year

Quite right. This past year has taught me much and I wouldn't be the person I still am today if I didnt have that strength. I promise you that.
