Some Poems On Love

we love

we hurt

we heal

we repeat

who was your first love? their words linger

myself i say

blank stares

myself
i repeat

how was i supposed to know that my heart would heal eventually

i wasted so much time wondering

if it would break by leaving

i should have left a long time ago

i’m begging you

she says

refill my lakes

pour back into me the love i gave to you

why am i

so obsessed with checking other people’s lives

when i have my own right in front of me

why do people
keep on hurting me and
why do i
never feel good enough

could it be
