frozen petals ache
with longing for spring...

it's summer,
but
my heart hasn't bloomed yet.

seasons are false
with the bitter winds
of a broken heart

sometimes I wish
you'd weep
for my pain.

at least,
please feel
for me a little

please weep

so I know

you still feel softly about me.

my pain...
needs to matter.

I
am sorry
for the tragic request.

Screenshot of poem written in text by @sherekhanum.bsky.social / user Shere Khancept: when did I stop being your safe place? and when did your love shift to mere affection? I wish I could trace it all back, plot the paths, walk the steps taken so at least I'd understand -- but it's not understanding I'm really searching for; deep down, I ache from impossibility. I know that -- but knowledge alone does not change make. I wish you loved me. I wish I'd stop wishing. I wish you'd ever reconsider. I wish that were possible. the barriers are permanent but it hurts worse that you don't love me anymore - like it was always fully a choice for you.

the heartache goes quiet sometimes, but turns out it is still endless.

two hundred six --
or,
at least thirty five:

I still want you to be
the most important part of my life.

Lost the last 3h to a frozen longing

I still have things to do before I can put myself to bed and play the game of pretending I'll stay asleep and actually rest this time...

...

This is temporary, right?

All of this?

...

Maybe not all.

That's half the pain and confusion.

i thought i was stronger
i thought i was more mature than this
i thought i was older
i thought i'd learned this type of shit

Thought more of myself then
than what I see in myself now
& i don't know how to comprehend
the immaturity of missing your smiles
when they were for me.

#thefuckingpermanence

i burn
slowly now:

awake after
what seems to be
a temporary nightmare
i thought was a lovely dream...

i can no longer kiss her fingertips.
