Your feelings are fleeting
but you can take a moment
to get to know
that feeling a bit better.
So you can get to know
you even more
than you thought
you knew.
I need those lines as a reminder.
I need them
to alert me
when I start feeling
too lonely.
When I remember how you never chose me.
Me vs him was always him.
Pity vs Safety but pity always won
This toxic positivity....
This toxic acceptance...
These constant excuses...
Well excuse me but.....
It makes me....
me...
hate everything
and everyone
all over again
You didn't choose me
even though I warmed your womb.
You didn't choose me
even though we've wiped each other's tears.
My love wasn't enough for you.
You wanted more no matter the cost.
Your happiness became my misery so I seek the company of my sister.
Because that synoptic relationship keeps breaking my heart...
I've got 20/20 vision.
But I guess she wants to leave me as well.
She's got wanderlust in her bones but fear replaced my calcium so I can't go with her...
She'll leave me too....
Or maybe
I'll leave her
before anyone else has the chance to
break my heart
all over again.
Feelings are fleeting but how stable are decisions?
Are they as fragile as the cherry blossoms she's chasing and my heart?
Or are they as secure as mother's decision to abandon her little mongrel, over and over again?
