Your words grow like ivy, creeping through me, invading every inch. Winding around my ribs— beautiful, dangerous— suffocating beneath the shadows, between each crack.

Yearning
Waiting Always waiting — I creep into my own dreams Waiting for them to become reality Living in another time Grieving what was Never mine Waiting Always waiting — For my life to begin For a time when my mind And my body join in

Fog seeps through every inch of me Distorting my views of You Cleansing me of each thought of You These bleak misunderstandings of You Because it was really never actually about You

Bleak Misunderstandings
when you call me by my name it’s a warm cup of coffee on a cold morning the scent wafting room to room the sleep in my eyes just falls away and although I can’t see you I can hear the smile on your lips and I can feel the warmth in your chest when you call me by my name

(when you call me by my name)
space is never ending between you and me stretching and bending finding ways to grow quietly moving and expanding

(between you and me)
You act like the world owes you A broken beaten girl that gives all she has But you're no different You're not special You give no more and no less Just fall Let your wounds bleed You are owed absolutely nothing
