I apologize to myself for ever thinkingthat I had to apologize to anyonefor being who I am.For speaking up when I am wronged,for being selfish sometimes, for wanting better for myself,or for loving hard.. I’m sorry you couldn’t handle my love. Illustration by: Fatima SeeharCopyright 2019 Valerie Sanchez

Before me you didn’t really understand a woman’s heartYou were young, naive, recklessI saw potential in you, defended you, showed you deeper than skin, and loved you for who you were.At your lowest, I was thereAnd as you rose, you chose someone elseSo don’t come back to me when she has left youbecause she couldn’t…

Sometimes we don’t pay enough attentionto the little things.I don’t know…Perhaps I’m still grieving.So much time has passed but maybe not enough for me.I tend to get lost in the fade-the sky-seas of yesterday,stuck in the silhouettes of a daydream.In hours’ exchange, I sit and watch memories take shape,and then fade away. Days slip by,and…

Don’t tell me that you want to give me your heart,To me, that’s far too cruel.I’d rather feel your love while you’re free,Still wholly yourself, still you. Because I know what it’s liketo lose pieces of yourself for someone else—I was once that fool.

Those invisible promise ringsBroken by a changed cosmic touch I never wanted things to be altered so much It’s all my fault, this detrimental expense All of this heartache for a should of- could of- would of been I should of known it could be this destructive Plummeting down on my world like a massive meteorite I don’t think you’re…
