Do me a favor:

tell me you don't love me,

that you never did.

 

Shatter me.

 

Don't leave a shard of hope

that I could cut my foot on.

Pulverize me,

so I can finally realize

 

this mess of a heart

can't be repaired

Fuck you and I'll see you in 2 minutes!

Ohhhhh superorgaNIsm...

 

The longest two months are between January and March

when you showed me how to take my time

 

So I took a hot minute and burned my calendar

I'd trade firsts for seconds if they include you

 

I don't want to feel this week, I crave your strength

What's mine is hours and I've plenty to give

 

Time is relative

and I'd like you to meet the family

 

I had a breakup last month and made a whole playlist of songs to cry and reminisce to, but this one is the one I play most by far. What's yours?

Got the book! The title of this poem is "Something You Could Swallow"

So far, the book is wonderful. I'm digesting it slowly. The poems are bringing up a lot of emotion in me.

Thank you! I ended up emailing the author and asking which book this poem was in. She said it's from her newest book, "The Wound Before the Scar" I've ordered it but I don't yet know the title of the poem. I'll report back tomorrow when it arrives.

I'm considering changing the last lines to:

so if you don't like
the reflection staring back
drop Me on the street
I'll make Someone Else's day

 

This is a poem I wrote recently, in the aftermath of a breakup. I don't really write poetry, but would like to get better at it.

I wish I knew which book this came from. I would buy it in an instant.

I love these comics so much
