He wanted
To fall in love
With a poet
To be the
Inspiration
Behind the most
Beautiful pieces
And here I am
Writing the most
Painful words
He has ever been
The source of
Tag: pain
Tripped
You fall
Then I fall
It’s all such a thrill
But don’t fall
Too quickly
This fall tends to kill
Backwards
Why stab me
In the back
If there's already
A hole
In my chest
Tight
He will seize
What is left
Of his pride
But he has
Forgotten
His dignity
Between my lips
Harmful
You beg those
Around you
To be gentle with
Your fragile soul
Yet you are the one
Who holds the same
Rusty sword
To your own throat
The Gap
A concept I have grown
Fond of recently
Is the idea that
The only closure
You need to make
Is the closure between you
And your own mistakes
Ace
That is where
We are vastly different
For you used
Your intellect to win
And I used mine
To defend
Patience
Better days
Are on the way
They're on a path
Leading straight
To you
Mathematics
I learned to love his absence
For his absence corresponded
With the exponential growth
In the presence of my own self-love
Lengthy
I could give you
Every inch of my heart
And you would still
Find the measurements
To be unimpressive
What's Mine Is Yours
