Status Updates From us.: a collection of poetry

and what would
i be saying to myself
if i took you back
after all of this?

and what would
i be saying to myself
if i took you back
after all of this?

each day,
i forget you a little more.
i feel you a little less.
i love you a little less

when they
ask you
about me,
i hope you
tell them how
i was your
most beautiful
mistake.

i will wait for you
within the sunflower fields,
where the colors of the
sky caress the sun.
i will wait for you
between the city lights
and the space between
the sea and the horizon.
i will wait for you
in all the places
you’ve fallen in love.
it is there where i
will be waiting for you.

this pen has run dry.
these words no longer
make sense.

the wind is a
mischievous thing.
it feels as if some days
she blows straight through me,
while other days she whispers
all the things i need to hear.

i loved the way
he said my name.
it was as if he knew.
