Walk Me Home

I remember how we are on sidewalks
You always walk beside me
You’re on the side where the vehicles pass by
You’d say that I’ll be safer that way
And I blush and feel how I am so lucky

What is Love?

Love grows, but it also ends
Love makes everything right
But it is not everything

Fiction, Poetry Posted onNovember 5, 2020November 5, 2020

I Survived You

There were times that I asked God
To help me unlove you because it hurt so bad
I bathed in hurt until it hurt a little less
I cried through hell until there were no tears left

Quotes:

“Love hurts the same whether you’re sixteen or twenty-six.”

“When you ignored my texts and missed my calls that night, / that was what freedom from you tasted like.”

“If it was love, it would have been everything we had hoped for / but it wasn’t, so we both had found the other at fault.”

“I’m happier now, learned a lesson from that unholy week / after finding a part of me that you didn’t break.”
