Barely Breathing {poetry}

sequel to Beautifully Broken and Shattered Stars

a book of healing, love, goodbyes, happiness , falling apart, and coming back together.

"i caught a glimpse of you today.
worn and rusted.
glass fingers sharpened to a tip.
a plume of smoke filled with my darkest nightmares.
depression."
- Glimpse

"Why do you throw your happiness away
for someone like me?

- Because someone like you deserves every
sunset,
every star in the sky,
every flower blooming from the face of this earth,
and someone so, so much better than me.
You deserve to be happy."
- Goodbye Days

"our kisses too rushed and laughter too short. we tried to fit a lifetime into three months. i wish for you to remember me with a smile instead of tears. you knew we would not last, so please do not hurt."
- Past and Future

"You would not have known the sadness
That lives within me
When I tell you
I regret not kissing your forehead
When I last saw you.
I didn't know it would be my last."
- I Can Tell You
