I don't write. I create.












We could call it whatever we like, essentially we set the rules surrounding our lives.
Our relationship has intensified in areas we did not expect.
Burning questions, life lessons and stealth deception.
We dreamt of becoming the couple that wins at everything. Only we end up losing because neither of us accepts the fact that we aren’t like the pictures we post up on our social media platforms.
#BAE
We dare not part, for the blogs would type and the users would read, the creators would make memes and our lie would be free!
That’s why each week we pencil in a day, well a block of time for us to try and reach and match our still images of happiness with reality.



You went on like you forgot to buy condoms.
I acted like it was okay! I didn’t want a piece of latex to ruin our moment in time.
My period was late.
My period never arrived.
I tested positive.
I cried.
I waited for what I thought was the right time to tell you and you offered to book me into a private abortion clinic.
I hadn’t reacted and you assumed I agreed with your offer.
When two people declare love and love has been shown, one can’t help but imagine that whatever comes their way, they will face it as one.

Old Pain
For a long time, I held on like super-glue on the minds of the dumb and reckless.
I gave birth to resentment and fed jealousy all the nonsense it needed to thrive.
I processed negative thoughts and entertained deception.
I blended life with extra drama and gave hate a glorious reception.
Today I write this to let you know, that today is the day I let old pain go.
I searched deep within and located blue notes of fortune.
I played back the tune and remembered the connection I once shared with you.
The tune went over and through my existence. I feel warm and excited at releasing my stubborn resistance.
I miss you, I love you and this post ain’t no joke!
I wish we could reconnect and remain connected this time. I pushed you and pushed you away at the time. I was a tyrant to our growth – I feared having hope.
I accept that part was wrong and I should’ve stopped when you spoke.
Anything good in my life I don’t believe it, you see.
I poke it and prick it and build walls around me.
I feared being happy, as you made me happy so much so. There were shit times, you were shit at times – all acknowledged and I’ve let go.
Back then I did what I felt was right.
I pushed you away and set our bond on fire. I retreated to my safe space and watched memories burn away.
I apologise.
I’m sorry.
If you ever call I’d say, ‘It’s okay. I understand.’
