Tonight is one of the rough ones, where memories of old conversations and unspoken words chew me up and spit me out like a sobbing fool.

This pain burns hotter than a raging fire, it engulfs me. But we both shall rise from this, phoenixes reborn from ashes.

I go months without hearing from so-called friends and family until I lose the desire to respond, so wounded by their lack of interests that I would rather it stay that way than for them to feign interest.

Memory warps things.

Stop drowning for people who won’t even get in the damn water for you.

A whisper escapes between my lips
And I stumble on the silence in the room.
Who knew words could sting so much.
Who knew I'd feel it too.

That feeling you get when you know it's not the same anymore..

There will be a time when we come to the point where avoiding each other is not just a choice but a necessity.

One day, I just realized there were already too many differences between us that we can no longer figure out how to pick up where we left off.

I fell in love with ocean hues
Shipwrecked after constant abuse
Now I’m lost at sea
Wondering if I’ll ever be free.
