i never asked you to wake me up at 3 in the morning to remind me that i’m beautiful,
i never asked you to send me paragraphs that told me how i made your life meaningful.
i never asked you to show me your phone or give up all your passwords,
i only asked you to keep pushing forward and stop moving backwards.
i never asked you to be one those cliche boys,
i never asked you to show me off like a brand new toy.
i never asked you to put me first before anything,
i only asked you to do everything you were promising.
in the end i didn’t have to ask, you did it all and more,
which made me think i fell in love with someone worth fighting for.
but how wrong i was to think that way,
it was only days before you left that you decided your love wouldn’t stay.
and then the world became so tiring,
and all i could do was wait.
how long ive missed wanting ,
to be alive, to be awake.

As it says in my tagline: I'm just a writer writing about love because that's what all the cool kids are falling into these days. However, the type of love I write about is based more on the likeliness of modern day heartbreak. I originally started this blog as an outlet for therapy. I believe writing soothes the mind and allows us to express our feelings, which is exactly what I do here -- but in the form of poetry and spoken word pieces. I began writing in 2016 and I like to think the content I put out is relatable and hard-hitting since there's nothing new under the sun. You'll come to find I struggle a lot but without struggles, there is no growth, and believe me, I am growing.
Slowly, I am working towards publishing my own works. Gallimaufry (one of the categories here on my blog) is one of them. I'm also in the process of writing, "war & peace", "where two hearts unify as one", & "i sold my heart to buy yours".
Until then, feel free to linger around and read a few of my pieces; if you like what you see, be sure to hit the follow button at the bottom of my page to keep up with my posts and like & comment as you wish!
Other than that, thank you for reading my About Me page!
I'll be seeing you,
B.K. Laurel
