to all the boys I've loved before: you'll never amount to the man he was

Sad Girl: Short Pieces for Short-Term Feelings
Please Subscribe to read the full chapter

I just want you to know that it hurts

that I'm trying so, so hard

to tamp down these feelings

that I think about how it must feel to have your arms around me

that it probably feels safe

and warm

and that pretending not to love you

pretending that i never cared

that this was never real

is the hardest thing.

 

but when night falls

and it's just me

in my head

in my bed

alone,

I can almost feel the ghost of what never was.

Chapter 16: okay, i know i said i was going to binge-read this last night? two nights ago? i don’t know but i passed out.

i definitely don’t regret taking the time to read your poems this morning. all of this was just amazing - lots of your poems just rendered me speechless because wow, i relate.

to be honest, i aspire to be a poet but i just have no idea where to start, how to start, and all that jazz. what i do know is that you’re an amazing poet and even though this collection was a short 15 chapters, there wasn’t a single moment where i would think twice about going to the next poem.

thank you for this, juliyah!
