sometimes

sometimes the thought of dying stings brighter
than the middle of July and sometimes the air
exchanged through my lungs breaks more ribs
than your fist

sometimes when i say your name it burns my
tongue like acid and tears overflow my empty
eyes because they need their own excuse to
cry

sometimes i write shitty poems about you
and the love we shared, the love that i still
fucking keep preserved, in case someday you
will want it back

because i am pathetic

sometimes i miss your knuckles in my face
when i felt something with each punch and i
told myself it was love but somehow we both
knew better

sometimes i want you to touch me like
before when our bodies were outlined by the
moon and sloppy lies fell from your lips to
mine

sometimes i pretend you still want me when
you are lying next to her and when you look
away from me next time, i will pretend it is
because you are blushing

because i can't stand the heartbreak

i write these fucking lines for you, these shitty
words that cry of despair and loneliness and i
pretend that you can hear them only because
you want to

and when i have stopped my pain along with
my breathing i will pretend that you are  crying
because you miss me and not because i am
the only fucking girl who promised your sorry ass
forever.

    this was my favorite part:

    "sometimes i write shitty poems about you
    and the love we shared, the love that i still
    fucking keep preserved, in case someday you
    will want it back"

    it was so emotional and beautiful. this is so raw, i really enjoyed it.
    i'm glad my style inspired you.
