And they didn’t spend years

painting your soul

into masterpiece-like existence

for you to waste it on someone

who doesn’t appreciate you

I admit:

‘I am a good person who did terrible things.’

In human beings,

a black hole

is spending your energy

loving someone

who takes all of your love

and gives back nothing

in return.

What no one ever told you

was that nothing ever really dies

not if it matters to you

your memories keep it alive.

They are dying,

and death

is meant to be ugly.

Painful and destructive,

it is made

through tragedy.

And yet

when a star dies

it is still lovely.

Sometimes

it is the way things end

that is beautiful.

The greatest wish

I have ever had

is to create with words,

what wizards cannot

and what magic

never has.

A woman is most powerful when she leaves

the man who broken her body into purple pieces,

but is now trying to drown her in his apologies,

that then dissolve into a sea of acidic threats.

There is burning

And there is you

and I would rather choose burning

than ever return to you.
