Part I · Illusion
Relate
August 8th, 2018
I wrote your name
in my journal—
too many times to count.
You’ve been running through me.
Which is strange.
I never get attached.
Maybe you changed me.
I used to be just Jon—
the fuck-up,
the fallback.
Bullied into self-deprecation.
Religiously broken.
Constantly depreciating.
But something about you—
your love,
your stillness—
made me want better.
Maybe that’s why you chose me.
Because I was broken,
just like you.
