Things my Lonely Tells Me

I will always sleep alone


There will never be anyone


To protect me when the thunder claps


Or when the branches of my past


Keep tapping on my window

I am being irrational


I should think three months into the future

Will he still want me?


Or will he open up my closet


And find the skeletons of every past-me?


I will never be worth it.

How dare I stand in front of the mirror


And try to find beauty


In the ghost of a girl


Who is too afraid to whisper her own name?

The heartbreak isn't worth it.


Push them away before they leave.


Don't let them add new scars


To your already-growing collection


Don't let them see you like that.
