this is a dangerous road I’m traveling on smiling at your messages Creating a playlist inspired by you romanticizing every interaction we have liking every single one of your posts Wondering if you’re safe enough To get to know you beyond the walls of this simple friendship
my pleas for love fall on the deaf ears of the universe I scoff and get angry with her Wondering what’s left to heal what’s left for closure what’s wrong with me that I need to fix in order to attract someone to love for the crazy, creative and complex woman that I am
the empty wineglass sits at the edge of the coffee table after I’ve written another poem about you it needs to be refilled so my mind gets tired of being inspired by the memory of you
next valentine’s day I want to be calm especially if I’m still alone I want my nervous system to be ultra regulated and not the mess it currently is
next valentine’s day I don’t want to entertain vengeful fantasies of getting my baseball bat to scare couples in the middle of their romantic dinner
Next valentine’s day I don’t to keep playing the role of bitter,jaded, and lonely bitch who allows herself to become a wreck at the mere mention of romantic love
Next valentine’s day I’m rewriting the script of grief stricken lonely girl and will make it a day that will reflect on all of the love I have in my life
I’m looking for the rhythm of a new heartbeat to fall in love with A heartbeat that goes with the flow of my intense intimacy A heartbeat who doesn’t call me angel or princess only calls me by my name a heartbeat who’ll fall in love with the real me and not the idea they have of me or the persona I play on social media A heartbeat who can handle my crazy and chaos A heartbeat who accepts and understands me and never tries to change me
I’m pregnant, it’s yours, I want to keep it I start crying “Just get rid of it you tell me he fairytale died that day
I’m at your apartment drunk And you;re drunk, we fight, then we kiss And you take me in-but then you feel guilt And kick me out I The fairytale died that day
I’m at your apartment I want to hold you and kiss you I yearn for you You imply I can’t be trusted The fairytale died that day
The winds of defiance rules my heart I love someone I shouldn’t Who stirs up hate and love within me I feel underwhelmed by everything wonderful in my life The winds of defiance rule my heart And I shouldn’t want to run from my beautiful lover and yet I want to And I desire danger and intensity even if what I really need is peace and calm
Excitement over our new computer I can’t wait to get into those yahoo and aol chatrooms I’ll bet I’ll meet someone and maybe even fall in love maybe I’ll have better luck find a man online than I have in real life maybe the man I find will stay and become my soulmate
My former lover prays for me because I won’t fuck him Is this how it feels like to change my story from on call whore to an I’m healing and deserve better “Woman Is this how it feels like to to go from fun girl to healthy woman I use to measure my worth by who loved me or who wanted to fuck me but those days of impulsivity and “hey, this will be fun” are long gone Now are the days of painful transformations,therapy worksheets, self reflection and most importantly self love So I put away my sexy vixen persona And I put on my ” “I’m authentic without apologies persona” I’ve stopped living to please others and now live to please myself
