When you say you have commitment issues I deny it because it destroys you. I let it grow like the prettiest weed and call it a flower, petals outstretched like arms I felt sick pretending I didn’t feel sick in, your words bleeding unfinished poems like unfinished questions like “is this a lie” answers you expected from her but didn’t return. You don’t understand why relationship is a two week adventure when adventure is what you are seeking. She is a sorry escape from wasted testosterone you spent on three Snapchat users at an ice rink blonde highlights and practiced laughs pretty fingers with fake fingernails you played desperate for and told me you were over it. Three times you have forgotten me, once for an enemy, twice for a friend, once more for the sweet girl I am supposed to be happy for but your “happy” is only happy when you are misusing the L word, your happy is straight hair and stolen affection, it is two weeks too busy to respond to a “best friend” but busy isn’t mall trips with the yellow girl or hikes with the guys your busy is my busy with waiting because your L word is limited and yet mine is overflowing and I cannot see why I still give it. Why I wait when it kills me, wait for you to come back empty-handed when you speak of faithlessness because no one is ever pretty enough, smart enough good enough, and I will deny it, this thing that destroys you and bury it deep inside where it destroys me instead. #depression #used #lonely #alone #friendship #sadpoetry #poetry #movingon #recovery #suicidal #mentalhealth #mentalillness #poetrycommunity #poetsofig #poetsofinstagram #writer #poet #writerscommunity #writingcommunity #writersofig #writersofinstagram #abuse #heartbreak #poetryisnotdead #spilledink

This time she thought she had something great going on but that feeling quickly abated the moment he decided to display such aberrant behaviour following it up with his sudden abandonment leaving her to finally admit her ambivalence towards the kind of love they shared but with him gone she realized that it actually served as a catalyst for the making of this new version of herself.
She became the kind of woman that never allowed another man to abscond with her heart because she learnt the hard way that the heart must be protected at all times because it's one organ that can very easily break with the wrong kind of love and I know it gets tiring each time when we believe that yes this one was mine to keep forever only to have them run as far away from you possible but I just want you all to remember that on your journey towards seeking out love please first love your own heart before allowing someone to come share it with you.

WHEN DEATH COMES
by Mary Oliver
.
When death comes
like the hungry bear in autumn;
when death comes and takes all the bright coins from his purse
.
to buy me, and snaps the purse shut;
when death comes
like the measle-pox
.
when death comes
like an iceberg between the shoulder blades,
.
I want to step through the door full of curiosity, wondering:
what is it going to be like, that cottage of darkness?
.
And therefore I look upon everything
as a brotherhood and a sisterhood,
and I look upon time as no more than an idea,
and I consider eternity as another possibility,
.
and I think of each life as a flower, as common
as a field daisy, and as singular,
.
and each name a comfortable music in the mouth,
tending, as all music does, toward silence,
.
and each body a lion of courage, and something
precious to the earth.
.
When it's over, I want to say all my life
I was a bride married to amazement.
I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.
.
When it's over, I don't want to wonder
if I have made of my life something particular, and real.
.
I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened,
or full of argument.
.
I don't want to end up simply having visited this world
.
.
