I've spent my short life building walls for a living
walls that hide how I feel & keep me from feeling
brick by brick I feel as safe as I am trapped in my own confusion

I prefer women with piercingly sad eyes
with a story that'd reduce Hemingway to tears
the confidence to carry that pain around attracts me
but if I make you happy
would it be wrong to break you
just to be attracted to the pain I've caused you?

I'd rather be alone and longing for someone
than to have promised my heart to the wrong person
when the right one comes along

blond is
poetic to exhaustion.
cohesively soulful.
progressive but not obnoxiously ambitious.
euphorically sinister of nostalgia.
naked with a rebelliously warm tone.
tastefully sour like an onion.

The overwhelming depths of your womanhood
Feeling trapped and burdened by your decisions
Living in the lap of luxury of your own selfishness
Actually thinking you could live for yourself
Or pave your own way with grace and dignity
But you are much more than who you've been credited
Those who doubt you fuel your ambition
You are the moon lighting your own darkness
You are the roots of all that has bloomed
You are the beacon of wisdom of all your past lovers
None of whom will ever understand the entirety of your beauty

the sun sinks into the mountains
a vast consuming darkness
another day has gone past
another flip of the hourglass
where did the time go
last I remember I was 4
hiding to be seeked
unaware of the passing weeks
but now that I have aged
I'm hesitant to turn the page
knowing where it will lead
precious memories left to bleed

The world is made up of 30% land, 70% ocean
We shared common ground, we dove in with emotion
If love had a sound, ours would smell potent
Bound to be ******* chopped up in slow motion
Set sail on this quest, you kept me afloat
No life vest, rockin' the boat
The world was cold, I used you to cope
Soaked in your love, you gave me a crown
I tore my walls down completely aware I could drown
Maybe that was my biggest mistake
My love for you got me deep in this dark place
It's like you can't breathe, you can't be
Imprisoned in thought, drowning in memory
Feelings manifested, years invested, wasted
I need detachment, time reimbursement
But it's all mathematical, this was the quotient
Find this in the fiction category, my heartbreak allegory
