I should have known the moment your lips met mine that we were having an affair with borrowed time.
MAGGIE BOWYERI should have known the moment your lips met mine that we were having an affair with borrowed time.
MAGGIE BOWYERIf we found out tomorrow that oxygen was poisonous I would try to spend forever in your exhales.
MAGGIE BOWYERI should have known when I started to fall in love, It was never meant to last long.
MAGGIE BOWYERTwo showers a day and I’m still a thousand more from washing you away.
MAGGIE BOWYERDon’t you know that shedding your pain only makes it reverberate.
MAGGIE BOWYERI hope you grow. I hope you change. It almost didn’t fazed me, when you chose her. You always wanted what you ‘have.
MAGGIE BOWYERThe last time you backstabbed me I grew a backbone. I should thank you.
MAGGIE BOWYERI’d rather suffer in silence than be subjected to deafening stares. I feel like I’m in an abusive relationship with my body, no one can see the bruises.
MAGGIE BOWYERBe proud of a body that bares the burden of being buried only to bloom.
MAGGIE BOWYERI was only ten the first time I remember getting stabbed. My agony pierced the air with a sickening scream.
MAGGIE BOWYERI’m not sure if I’m to blame for all my relationship failures. But when I look at the wreckage I am the only commonality.
MAGGIE BOWYERYou’ve retracted your rays of warmth. You’ve pulled the clouds to cover sunlight. I think everyone is growing more concerned as the days keep passing and you’re still absent.
MAGGIE BOWYERThe very act of surviving in a world that does nothing but reject you is an act of revolution.
MAGGIE BOWYERYou’d read between my lines, You’d seen truths I had tried to deny all my life. You had read poems that were tucked neatly under my sheets, words I never meant anyone to read.
MAGGIE BOWYERI’m stoned on a nice boat ride. I fake a smile, you fake a life.
MAGGIE BOWYERThese words crash over and threaten to destroy me. I cannot find the stars so far beneath these waves of insecurity and mistrust, their light has seemed to vanish.
