i stopped pretending you were mine today. or that you ever were.
i never knew the concept of forgiveness would be so hard to grasp. but now i know that i can hold a grudge like a child. and in that melodrama i am proud.
my brothers are not my blood, but they are mine. we have been through tragedy and triumph together. they have been my shoulder to cry on, and i have wiped away many of their tears myself. my soul will always be tied with theirs.
i love you calmly, peacefully, and fully.
the bed groans under you weight as you slip in bed. warning me that it’s not just me, but that you smell like another woman.
here’s my linktree to access all my socials! tumblr is the home for my poetry and midnight thoughts, check out my insta for aesthetics and fashion!
even though we are not in love anymore, your mere presence puts me at ease. your body being in my vicinity calms my restless mind.
i’ll pray to every god, wish on every star, and do all the right things for you to live through the night.
