i spent a lot of time searching for affection in shallow | Simplicity 🍁

i spent a lot of time
searching for affection
in shallow spaces

i gave people bits of me
they didn't deserve
and i let myself be hurt.
because i thought
that's what i deserved

but Once i let go
of trying to shove puzzle pieces
in places that did not fit,
once i Let go of all the hate
i secretly had stored in the
gashes that decorate my heart

i met you

-m.k.
