Be specific.

Sloppy. 

It was sloppy. 

I hate that. 

Same content. 

Different context. 

Changes everything. 

See the upside. 

I cut the chord of the crazy loops

that start to turn whenever he starts 
creeping back into my thoughts. 

It doesn't matter. 

He didn't care. 

He doesn't care. 

He is not going to care. 

Let it lie. 

Just be done.

Or at least start writing again. 

Shower Temps

You know it's good when
You know it's bad when
you can find the sweet spot
you can't find the sweet spot
like it's nothing.
like it's complicated.

A (Little) Distance

I love taking the train to Brooklyn
because it's above ground
and it's easier to appreciate the city
seeing it clearly
from a (little) distance.
You know people like that, don't you?

Game Over

It was always a game.

Games are fun.

It was a good match.

They're hard to find.

But I'm tired.

I'm done trying.

I'm done losing.

I don't have the emotional energy

to play anymore.

So game over.

Not a Good Time

It's just not a good time
physically
emotionally
spiritually
financially
politically
for me to be dating.

Things I Don't Need

I haven't seen him.
But I keep thinking about him.
And I think I'm looking for him.
Maybe just a little.
A lot.
Why are the things I search for
things I don't need.
How can I blame you?
Why are the things I want
the things I don't need.
Consumerism.
The patriarchy.
Too much?

A New Commitment

It's amazing.
We're a perfect fit.
It's definitely work.
I think I'm in love.

And it's not a boy.
