You were all I ever needed,
You were all I thought was good,
Until good became a question,
But letting you go, I never could.
So I tried to make it better,
But better wasn’t enough,
Your depression overwhelmed me,
And soon it hurt to bluff.
I can’t handle it I told you,
I could no longer pretend.
I couldn’t help you in the long run,
And I couldn’t save you in the end.
But I tried my best to make it better,
With hopes one day you’d leave me,
Because I cared enough to soothe your pain,
but our love wasn’t the kind I’d seen on TV.
It was different; it seemed harder.
You built a wall and put on armor.
You made me the witness of all your pain,
To keep you sane, to kiss in the rain.
But I couldn’t be your tissue box.
For I’m not disposable like tissues.
And hopefully one day you’ll realize this:
That my love wasn’t meant to solve your issues.
It was meant to be a vow,
But that vow seems meaningless now.
Sometimes battles don’t make us stronger.
But rather makes us love less or no longer.

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
