Better The Devil You Know

He so easily pushed away was clearly never meant to stay.

True love

Love isn’t supposed to be hard.

If he makes you cry more than he makes you smile then he isn’t worth your tears.

No love is worth your sanity or peace of mind.

No love for another should be put above your love for yourself.

No amount of crying will make him a better person.

Learn from your pain and make yourself the best version of you.

Once you learn to love yourself you will truly understand your worth and will never again let a man lower your standards.

Love yourself first.

Growth

There’s a new man on the scene

As soon as I stop looking he appears.

The gentleman,

The knight,

The potential.

I should be jumping but I’m not.

I have over thought him out of my mind

Now he is simply a made up romance,

The boy next door

Who will come and go.

I did it to protect myself.

I think.

It’s easier to regret not starting something

Than feeling all that something only to loose it.

Im doing it to protect my already aching heart.

I haven’t yet healed the last wounds of love.

I need time to realise myself,

To realise my potential and to grow alone.

Flowers grow towards the sun, not towards other flowers.

Im protecting my growth.

A not quite love letter

Dear boy I used to know,

I feel it all at once or I feel nothing at all

I’m angry that you aren’t sad

Why aren’t you sad?

We had something

not much but something

And it was a hell of a lot more something than I’ve had in a while

Now we’re back to strangers

With casual nods and how are you’s?

And you act like we had never been something at all

It hurts me that we don’t talk anymore

But I know it’s for the best we weren’t a match

But I’m sad that our something has turned to nothing and I’m even sadder that you don’t seem to care.

Love,

A past something.

Why do I always assume that the internet is one person with a specific sense of humour. I’ll see something funny and be like: you know who would like that? The internet.
