he likes peanut butter,
good movies,
deep conversations,
and long walks in the dark.
he will be gentle with the parts of you that hurt,
and he'll need you to be gentle with him too.
he'll bring your favourite snacks
and learn how you like your coffee.
he'll make you feel safe,
and he'll need you to make him feel heard.
he'll make you laugh,
and you'll fall in love with his green eyes.
i had to let him go
but promise me
that you won't
heaven doesn't even know how much i miss you already.
i'm getting so tired these days
i say i want to be healthy.
i say
that i don't want to destroy myself,
and i say
that i want to live.
but i've hardly eaten in two days,
the red on my wrist is recent,
and i thought about heaven last night.
i'll be fine.
i just need to learn
how to line up words and actions
as well as i line up
the marks on my skin.
i just wanna like myself
i hope you can forgive me
for not treating you with the kindness you crave.
but whatever happens,

He is always good.

whatever happens.
