love isn’t getting rid of books
to make everything fit
it’s buying a bigger bookshelf
to share all the words you both love

And I waited
And waited
And waited
And waited for you
To call me to fix things
Like I would
But you never called
Then I realized
I was the only one who loved
And now I wait
And will continue to wait
Hoping to be wrong

bittersweetly haunted
tuesday, november 28, 2023 i keep pictures of people i no longer speak to a snapshot  of happier moments before you gave me an  e v e r l a s t i n g   h u r t i do not know why  i hold on to these images that bring me  such a variety of emotions love hurt happiness anger bittersweet memories maybe somewhere deep down i wonder if i can will those happier moments back to life those moments that hold tipsy giggles sweet kisses tight hugs soft whispers loud cheers they hold my life the face of a ghost in each image haunting me reminders of the fact that to remove all  the photos of you would be to remove my whole past what will i show my children when they ask what i was like when i was young you were supposed to stay you were supposed to be my closest friend you were supposed to be a part of everything you were supposed to be there to help show my children photos of us when we were young now i will have to explain why each photo is  bittersweetly haunted

grieving someone who is still alive is a different kind of hurt

unfinished business
i could write you an
unfinished business letter
but I think it would be
a novel instead

never understand
when i finally speak up
after months of silent grieving
telling you
that i am still hurt
you say you don’t understand how
of course you wouldn’t
you could never understand
the hurt you gave me
because you never learned
how to love me

settle
you told me never to settle for anyone
not even you
so i didn’t
and I never will again

do the silly, fun things that make you happy. order that unnecessarily complicated drink cause you like it. sloppily paint your fingernails because you like the color. laugh so loud that everyone in the restaurant looks. wear that outfit you've been saving for a special occasion. dye your hair because it's something you've always wanted to do. life is too short to spend it dialing back on the things you love, so do them freely and with joy.

no. with you no. is a full sentence met with understanding. patience. care.
there is no need for feigning sickness pushing away defending my line
there is no but what if oh please i deserve this
there is only love. warmth. reassurance.
with you no. means no no questions asked

you can’t write a letter to your dog
explaining all the reasons why you’re gone
to tell him how much you love him
and you’ll visit at christmas
and maybe thanksgiving too
that you’ll miss him so much
and you’ll be back to get him as soon as you can
you can’t write your dog a letter
but maybe some how he’ll still understand

silence
it feels as if there is something wrong
with me
Why can I not let the words out
Why must I spare your feelings
Protect you from hard truths
While I suffer in silence
Because I’m scared to
hurt you

sour candy
there are so many things
i wish i’d said to you
none of them sweet
i ran out of sweet things
to say when the taste
of your name in my mouth
became sour
not something I disliked
sour candy is my favorite
but my lips still puckered
as it crossed my tongue
you thank me for being
patient, kind, loving
but i really have just
learned to hold my tongue
bite back the words
that are deemed unkind
even if it stings
because i’d rather bite my tongue
till it bleeds
than be the reason for your
puckered lips

without you
i never thought you’d be the one
i have to say goodbye to
you’ve been here through
so many phases of my life
but i think this will be
the last one for a long time
i love you so dearly
i wish you nothing but the best
but I deserve the best too
and right now my best
has to happen
without you

expiration date
June 11, 2023
there has been an expiration date
on us since you
first took my arm
neither of us know when it will be
when the richness
will turn to spoils
boil over until
the things underneath
can’t be denied anymore
but I will love you
till the bittersweet end
when the expiration date arrives
