This Is My Heart

Blue Ticket

My mom told me not to talk to strangers

But now, almost at 18

It's an unspoken truth that I am supposed to start giving myself up

Just a little bit at a time 

To fall in love with the "right" stranger

Of course, I'll get to know him 

But I have trust issues

Especially in myself

Because I've mistaken love for goodnight texts and over-used nicknames
I actually believed in cupids arrows

And the people I thought I knew the most change too quickly

Nothing is the same anymore

But my mom told me to start going on dates again

And I'm still afraid of talking to strangers

A Gift for Jarom

A line from every post 

turned into a grand theft poem

When I was a kid I dropped a brick on my foot

I've been told I have a good heart

but Hell is in my mind

and love is blind

so WAKE UP

I'm too young

and love has left it's withered mark

and a scar that is unbearable

but it's okay

why we cry doesn't matter as much as the fact that we do 

we are still who we were when we found each other

 ...

When I was a kid a dropped a brick on my foot

because all I want is for them to see me

Sleepless in 301

Don't trace your first name and his last name

with the dots that show up in the back of your tired eyelids

And definitely don't think of his lip brushing your cheek 

2 am isn't the time to be wondering if you should have said hey or hi or what's up :)

Scratch the emoji that would mean you're too excited to talk to him

And maybe you should have hugged him with both arms over?

Wait no, he always liked his arms over your shoulders

Shit, you should have let him hug you first

Hopefully you didn't have salad in your teeth

you're trying to look slimmer even though Thanksgiving is coming up

Are you thinking about him again?

Stop

It's already 2:47 

and you're still wondering if he turned off his read receipts on iMessage

because he wanted to ignore you without you knowing

Stop it 

Close your eyes and don't try to fix the stutter you had yesterday

2:50 just sleep

2:54 It's easy, just forget about the way he makes you feel

2:55 No, cuddling him right now wouldn't make you sleep better

3:01 I love him 

3:01 I love him 

3:01 I love h
