I don’t understand how I
can know so little about love
and how it works. How I can
be so bad at it when it’s all
I’ve ever wanted. All I’ve
ever known is about
leaving or being left.

I cannot stand abandonment,
yet my favorite place to be is alone in my room.

I stand, abandoned, by the side of the road. My neck prickles with the humid mask of dried sweat, and my feet ache as dust rises in a cloud the colour of butterscotch - thick and heavy, it settles in my eyes. and I do not know if they are watering because of foreign fibres, or if I am crying because you left me.

What did one ocean say to the other?
Nothing, they just waved. Like you, I guess.
Except you didn't wave, you didn't do anything. For me, there was no goodbye - there was nothing but an empty house and cold sheets. I cried for hours, enough salt water to create an ocean; enough to drown the entirety of Polynesia.
It's hard to adapt to being this cold after spending so long bathing in the sun. With you, I felt like the Mediterranean; light and warm, you induced a sleepy euphoria that no drug could ever give. And now, bitter and shivering, I feel like the Atlantic; cold enough to shock and kill.
What did one ocean say to the other?
Nothing, they said nothing.
Just left in the dead of night.

"Abandonment"
everytime I see your eyes
you take me on a journey
through mountians and rivers
and libraries and gardens
and I always fall for you
time and time again
until your eyes light up
when you notice her

a knife to the chest
is a blasting pain
the resonates
through your body
but it's that pain
the self-inflicted one
because of razors
and from old cigars
the kind that won't
bring you to your knees
on the floor
because of sheer, utter agony
it's the kind that you feel
when you're finally alone
it makes your ribcage tight
and your bones just feel
heavy
you look down and see
the road you've walked
and you look up and ask
just why did this all happen
it's that pain
that actually kills you
it hurts more
than a knife to the chest
ever could

I'm scared.
No, I'm terrified.
That one day everyone will leave me.
That they'll get tired and ditch me.
That they'll be sick of waiting around for me to come around.
I'm afraid that they'll realise how much of a complete waste I am.

in a dream about my old life.
Everybody leaves
and I would expect as much from you."

I can't keep doing this.
Not knowing when exactly you're leaving,
When you're here one day and absent another,
I don't know when the day I never see you again happens.
And not knowing kills me.
Not being able to prepare myself for losing you kills me.
So either leave or stay,
Because everytime I see you, knowing you're leaving,
My heart hurts.
