I’d love you more if you’d just uhh -
express to me words you feel
face to face not just face to books
pen to paper
Heart dipped in ink
Lips hold position
Yet speak so loudly when reading one of these things
But please
I can ******* not marry a poet
for they know me better than I know me .
They show the world sides I have yet to meet inside myself .
The world falls in love when we are happy
Orrrr
The world wants to **** me when
well you understand right.

Hold up I’m Typing . . . .

Do not blame me.
For your lack of feeling
inconsistently or care,
you no longer can give towards me.
Just tell me you can or can not love me correctly.
Then send me on my way—
It’s breaking my heart.
You stand there silently watching
with this blank stare across your face.

Maybe that’s why
I stayed alone for so long—
to numb the idea of another human being thinking outside of themselves just long enough to rub off on to me.

I am whole all on my own
before after and between you.

Maybe that’s why I stayed alone..
so long.
Holding myself at night was bigger than teaching one to hold onto things they supposedly love—
tighter
It isn’t love who blocks the vision
it’s the whispers of where you may lack. Lack of trusting
you’ll balance yourself in these bonds..

You are already whole on your own
before after and between.

You

you desire of her
to be open.
study her inside and out
teach her
to love whole.
then call her weird
when she finds beauty
in you.

its taken years to accept

Neglect

isn’t something
carved into my name.
i don’t have that label written on my forehead.
always wondered
what made people drawn here.
to me.
.

the lovers we
thought we lost.
way too busy
giving ourselves.
in love with how they love. . .
but you taught them.
exactly where to water.
it was always —

you . .
love
it was here before they
came
and it will stay when their gone.

- you can continue scrambling the universe. but it’s always right there inside.

You fill space with your presence.
Lemme soak up and sink in your energy.
