From Love to Loss and Back Again, a collection of parts of my poems.

1. Took me a long time,

To figure out what I wanted

But then again, you did too

Now I know what I want,

And I want you

2. They say I'm funny

I know I'm dull.

My humour is dry

My mouth is stuck

In this pressing frown

I'm going down

I'm a mess and I'm going nowhere

3. I give up all cares and by spring I can't feel

I hold on tight

As though for dear life

Maybe I am

Though I'll never know

Why it starts in November.

4. Burned all the bridges

Severed the ties

Why do you come back here

I’m not yours to save

5. When I was younger,

I fantasized about saving someone

I thought that I could fix someone

When they couldn't fix themselves

So I tried this theory out on you

Only the outcome wasn't what I wanted

Instead of me fixing you,

You broke me.

6. I have screwed up thoughts

they're like little snapshots

Into the life of dread I lead

7. I used to think living alone

Meant I could stay up as late as I wanted

And eat as much as I could

But I often find myself falling asleep at eight

Forgetting to eat for two days straight

I know it's not healthy but I think about death a lot, maybe too much

Probably, not safe for me

Living alone can get to your head

A lot of people that live alone wind up dead.

But death to me is to set me free

8. I tried to be okay and I tried to be fine

But I can't stand when it's her

Hand you hold and not mine

You just couldn't wait
