Do not expect a man to save you.

He will run from your broken heart

like a train headed relentlessly eastbound.
He will not stop.

He will eventually notice your self destruction and no,
it will not be beautiful, no, 
he will not wipe the tears from your clouded face and no,
he will not look deeply into your eyes 
and breathe promises of solace.

Put down the phone. 
He’s not going to return those calls.

This is a promise: you will fall;
perhaps you have already fallen.
He is not going to turn around
to pick you up.

It’s really cute when boys talk about their fears bc it makes them vulnerable and easier to destroy

i never really liked

my name

until i found out 

what it tastes like 

when you sigh it 

into my

mouth

Quit looking at me like that

I want everyone to know
I am not sad,

my mouth is full of noise
and my body full of broken things,

but I myself,
am not broken.

I want to feel it,
the breathtaking certainty,
that comes when you’re loved.

what doesn’t kill you
leaves scars
ruins your lungs
dries out all your tears
leaves you lying awake at 4 in the morning
wishing you weren’t alive

Love isn’t him calming you down when you yell. It’s him yelling, just as loud, just as hard, right back at you, right in your face to wake you up and keep you grounded. It isn’t him bringing you roses everyday or cute things that make your relationship appear more presentable. It’s after a long fight, that drains the life and bones out of both of you, and yet him showing up at your door the next morning anyway. It’s not him saying all the right things or knowing exactly how to handle you. It’s not him caressing your hair and telling you everything is going to be alright. It’s him standing there, admitting he’s just as scared as you are. You have to remember that with love, you’re not the only one involved. You’ve unknowingly put your life, your heart into the palms of another person’s hands and said, “Here. Do what you will. Mash it into mince meat, or forget I ever handed it to you.
