with your help i crafted these tears and thanked you in relief for assuring that part of me is still made of water - this is how you know you are still alive

am i unjust for wanting to feel wanted? this primal desire we were born with left you haunted but not me and i'm not sure but i don't think i'm the one that ignites t h a t fire

i may have spoken too soon or maybe i didn't say enough she says it’s “all in my head” but their expressions are untouched as i reach for a hand do i go where I am appreciated find a safer place to land? crawl out from this trap that reeks of doubt somewhere I am heard without screaming my lungs out

always move towards love
i wish i could create music for when i don't have words just a chain of delicate melodies to dangle from my neck rather than redundant apologies for a hell that keeps me trapped for days weeks it's okay my hell is just another acronym you'll forget by morning the patriarchy will agree and take your side of course of course and i will continue to smile help others to distract myself because that is what i do

only a woman could understand
silent tears they drip behind my eyes leaving puddles in my stomach whilst my cheeks remain dry this smile it seethes with lies protecting my bones from the inside you won't see me cry

faking it
your name on my tongue still burns in my chest her voice rings my ears as i'm counting the ways i can put a love like this to rest i wonder if i let you know just how hard my mind has been working to tell my heart  "no" "let go" would you stick around?   i found having you here at all is better than nowhere to be found - things i wish i could tell you f.p.

things i'll never say
i've accomplished more with you in one year than i have in my entire life though i've always been an ambitious soul without you it never felt quite right & every inch of you makes me whole, so i plan on holding you tight while you possess this heart you stole all my black fades to white f.p.

how dare you try and dispose of the colors to this rainbow though, how naive to forget such ignorance doesn't know we are free to express a life that doesnt touch you how fatal that love in any form can produce this hate you should know you will never take away the colors of our rainbow

still fighting
im strong enough to let it go but i'll feel it in my bones, you know & i sort of knew you'd run away just remembering that day we thought we could feel it again while destroying what felt too safe at the time like a skeleton key you think you can open any door you please while this guilt eats at my stomach you remain on your knees forgetting you won't suffer like me when i'm alone but you're free
