i don’t say anything
when my mother presents
the off-brand mouth wash.
after all, dad’s payday did just get changed to Monday.
i didn’t say anything
when my clothes came from Walmart
this Christmas.
after all, we did just move
and there’s bills to pay.
i won’t say anything
when eventually my mother asks for money from my first paycheck
for the groceries.
after all, I am a vegetarian
and my food costs more.

a love this intense
one of the most sought after things
it’s in the way you look at me
the way i say your name
to love is to fear
everything you may lose
but if you don’t try
you’ll never know
what you might gain

my heart aches when you touch me
and aches when you don't.

Or am i the only one you're upset at?

i adore cold weather.
But not for the fires,
Or the warmth of another person.
I find something beautiful about it,
And maybe even a bit lonely.
It reminds me of bittersweet loss,
And finding the strength to move on.

When you look at me
Your eyes are dull.
they were once a vibrant, beautiful green.
But now they're faded and gone.

"you're quieter than usual lately."
"there's nothing to say."
