the hurting

1. "how is it so easy for you

to be kind to people he asked

milk and honey dripped

from my lips as i answered

cause people have not

been kind to me"

2. "she was a rose

in the hands of those

who had no intention

of keeping her"

3. "if i knew what

safety looked like

i would have spent

less time falling into

arms that were not"

4. "the idea that we are

so capable of love

but still choose

to be toxic"

5. "you have sadness

living in places

sadness shouldn't live"

the loving

1. "every revolution

starts and ends

with his lips"

2. "he says

i am sorry i am not an easy person to want

i look at him surprised

who said i wanted easy

i don't crave easy

i crave goddamn difficult"

3. "i am ready for you

i have always

been

ready for you

-the first time"

4. "love will comes

and when love comes

love will hold you

love will call your name

and you will melt

sometimes though

love will hurt you but

love will never mean to

love will play no games

cause love knows life

has been hard enough already"

5. "you might not have been my first love

but you were the love that made

all the other loves

irrelevant"

the breaking

1. "don't mistake

salt for sugar

if he wants to

be with you

he will

it's that simple"

2. "you were temptingly beautiful

but stung when I got close"

3. "more than anything

i want to save you

from myself"

4. "that's the

thing about love

it marinates your lips

till the only word your

mouth remembers

is his name"

5. "the thing

worth holding on to

would not have let go"

the healing

1. "The thing about writing is

i can't tell if it's healing

or destroying me"

2. "do not bother holding on to

that thing that does not want you

- you cannot make it stay"

3. "accept that you deserve more

than painful love

life is moving

the healthiest thing

for your heart is

to move with it"

4. "do not look for healing

at the feet of those

who broke up"

5. "perhaps the saddest of all

are those who live waiting

for someone they're not

sure exists

-7 billion people"
