All this grieving is achieving nothing
In the unimaginable void that grew between two people
Who knew right from the start
But simply weren't ready to play their parts
Now each day I try to cope
Steady my nerves and try not to revoke
All the words I stood by solemnly
In a time that now seems dead to me
You were the heartbeat that kept me up at night
Now you're the shadow cast by the light in every room
You are gone, but the taste of you lives on
And I spend my days trying to forget
For every memory is a stab in my very fragile chest
The thought of a day that would bring happiness without you
Is a bitter pill to swallow, although one I must accept
Unless you too are sat there
Thinking all the same thoughts that I do
Then I ask now are you ready
To play the part I wrote for you

Day Thirty Six
#ojtapoetry
I made love
He fucked
I made promises
He spoke words
I committed
He ran away
I regretted
He moved on
I had loved
He’d desired
I’d enriched
He’d drained
I told my truths
He wrote his
I’d fought
He’d fled
I learned
By God, I hope he learned

Day Thirty Five
#ojtapoetry
Last night I thought about messaging you
For the first time in a long time
The temptation lay on my fingertips like a heavy burden
Waiting impatiently to be offloaded onto some place new
But the power's been in my hands for so long now
That I'd rather cut my veins to watch them bleed
Than hand over the blade to you
Again

Day Thirty Four
#ojtapoetry
Turns out it’s not enough to merely love someone
You have to hold their heart in your hands
And restrain yourself from crushing it to death
In the heat of many moments
Turns out loving someone takes patience
Many moons cannot withstand
Turns out loving you is costly
A price I never knew I couldn’t afford
Until I’d bankrupted myself for just a taste
Turns out love is a crushing blow
When it’s all you have to give
And there’s no reward for giving
