Patterned stationery

pretty envelopes, stickers, ribbons,

scissors and double sided tape

was what I purchased

when I decided to write to my former self

the desperate girl that chased nothingness

in search of love

it all needed to go away

and it wasn’t easy

its never too late to let go

sometimes it felt like it

Cupid’s arrow lied again

in the midst of chaos

she grew feeling unwanted

burden became her relationship

it changed who she was meant to be

climb into yourself

don’t fall back to your old ways

fall up fall down fall off

but don’t go back

a good loving relationship starts with you

so be who you are

She wrote until there was nothing more to say

reciting every positive quote

she opened up her envelope

and put all the papers inside
