ghosts & other unseens | Isabella Liu (11)

ask me why i have fallen in love with the boy who 

hates me. sometimes, i think he’s dead. i put my contacts in

wrong this morning & my eyes sting, blurry enough that

i think i can see him in my room. he writes letters to married

women but forgets the woman he is married to. when i see

proof of his existence i can’t help but feel as though he is not

alive. at least, not to me. is it possible to love a boy who

does not exist? a boy who is visible to everyone but the girl

that loves him? years ago he wrote poems about me but

now i am the poet waxing confessions for a boy that has

vanished from my life.
