H a l c y o n 

(n.) a period of time in the past that was idyllically happy and peaceful.

 ◦◦◦ 

the breakup series #1: 

goodbye

 ◦◦◦ 

it hurt 

in every way

imaginable 

how 

my phone screen

was the 

closest thing

i had to

you

how 

your name

feels 

foreign

on my

lips

how 

the mere 

thought of

you

makes

my eyes

burn

with unshed 

tears

as opposed to

the smile

that would

bloom 

on my

lips

how

i am

all i 

have

even though

i have 

you.

 ◦◦◦ 

could never 

admit it

to myself

but

the signs

were all

there

the gradual

distance

the unsettling

numbness

the choked

sobs

i try to

bury

in my pillow
