When it comes to love I am
no expert.
I know that people will have feelings
for others,
but you only hear about butterflies and
true love.
What happened to the slow burn romance
between two friends who realize later
they actually had feelings?
What happened to the girls that giggled
at night gossipping about sharing a glance with their crush
in class?

when it comes to relationships
You think the relationship
Is good when I’m struggling.
“There is no perfect relationship”, yes, we’ve been told.
Shouldn’t it be the perfect relationship for you both?
Wouldn’t it be nice to have one to trust,
one that wouldn’t try to tear you
from yourself, a relationship that supports growth, and promotes love
for yourself?
When it comes to heartache I am
the familiar dull presence that resides in your lungs as they walk past
losing your breath
completely helpless.
The pang through your heart
feeling burned when they leave. You’re
left with the memories that hold on desperately, refusing
to leave your silent mind.
But you have to
rest and learn
