I’m finished 
falling in 
now I’m 
falling with 
no longer 
with others 
with myself 
others will
always leave 
but myself 
I stay
be your 
own best 
love first 

There’s nowhere 
to go
there’s nothing 
to do 
all that
there is 
is here 
you’ve never 
been anywhere 
or ever 
done anything 
this is
not denial 
but rather 
the acceptance 
that nothing 
ever matters 
except for 
right now 

Didn’t write 
didn’t call
don’t try 
don’t chase
make room 
give space 
keep the 
leash yourself 
there’s nothing 
until he 
decides so
if he’s 
part of
your past
he will 
stay there 
remain in 
your present 

No candle
can burn 
long under
a basket 
if it
is meant 
to light 
then it
needs room 
to grow 
love is
meant to 
be oxygen 

I just want 
to hold in
my hands the 
face I know 
and look into 
the eyes of
which see me 
and kiss the 
lips that now 
call my name 
next to theirs
