time drips time drips time drips time drips
my throat is raw you are too far above me to hear what i am saying but you cannot come down without falling and i know you never learned how to clean a wound, i know you never needed to

Loving
my only way of saying sorry has always been making myself suffer im sorry for being too much i tell your lips they can silence me but your hand will always find its way to my mouth, instead i'm sorry i can't give you enough i tell your heart to say what it needs but i found no place for me there; even your stomach does not hunger for me

stomach ache
The way you make me tremble is a witch trial, I am prey, I am hunted, and yet sometimes I sense you behind me, waiting, unsure if you dare to strike. There are moments you hesitate. I almost believe we are afraid of each other.

*** and Beatings
I learned to live with my ribs slightly open Just in case something needed a place to sleep Sometimes it was grief, Sometimes memory Sometimes the quiet I’ve been chasing all my life I have let the dark crawl in Just to see if it would remember my name And I have learned to cradle it in my chest like it is a child I cannot save

Tremble
Grief left the light on for me, when I didn't come home in time. I arrive without ceremony— he is settled where dust collects. I find him later, already comfortable, already certain I would not ask him to leave— and my body, exhausted, sinks into the sheets without consequence. In the morning, Grief was sitting at the table after the candles burned out. He has made a home in the small, quiet parts I once called joy Grief keeps rearranging my furniture, and leaning heavily against ordinary days. Grief touches everything eventually Just to see if it can.

My Dog Grief
I am just a chip of the statue that has raised me. But I do not have enough stone in these hands to make myself whole alone. And I know it isn't your fault Because you cannot control what you have to carve away To fit your figure, But I had really hoped you'd let this imperfection stick around A little while longer. I ask around, I search for clay to fill the holes, but every time I find another, I am left with less than before. And I know I am not easy, but I did not ask to be cut from marble That is too cold to touch. I will be good, I will be kind And I will be quiet. So please, Give me a soft spot to land Next time I fall from your pedestal. Because soon, I will be almost nothing And no one will know whose fault It really was
