Mute
To be loved by him is such a privilege. It’s like having shelter and food on the table—things I wouldn’t know how to live without.

Home Without a House
I’ve never stood before anyone and felt completely naked whilst wearing clothes.

Seen at Last
Blush-pink ballet slippers, dusted with glitter, perched atop your roughened boots. We dance, and suddenly I’m twenty-two, waltzing alone.

Father-Daughter Dance
At least tell me you love me, while you tighten my noose. Blow me a kiss, While my body jerks. Show me your tears, while I fight for oxygen. Let me feel you warmth, hold my hand as mine fades. Now watch me swing, My body dancing in the wind. Hang my picture. Please hang it crooked. A reminder, That there was nothing perfect about me. Nothing at all. Her: You asked me to hang your picture. Do hang it crooked, a testament that there was nothing perfect about you - and yet, in every tilt, you are perfectly you.

Neck deep, in love. Extended.
Remember me, then forget me. Grieve me, although I still breathe. Reminisce in photographs, in every inch of the house, and when you pass by familiar streets. Slowly let me fade. Think of me when your heart aches, as a deafening echo.

Distant memory
Teeth sink into my skin, you gnaw at my flesh - overbearing. My breath falls short. The taste of me is putrid to you, and still, you are relentless. Are you turning in your stomach yet?

Imprint
At war with myself. The internal, indistinct chatter grows louder. I beg for the voices to drown out. I’m struggling to swim, clothes on, weighing me down, making it hard for me to stay afloat. My lungs fill with water, and suddenly, I’ve sunk. Is it escapable, or is my mind a prison I will never break free from? Please allow me to break free. I’ve done my time. I don’t want to be sentenced for life.

Breathing Underwater
The softness of your lips pressed against mine You breathe me in Your calloused hands around my waist Pull me closer Your gentle touch and warm embrace You’re never to be forgotten, never to be erased Love is something you’re fluent in Even in silence, it’s spoken My heart now awoken At peace, yet once broken I read between the lines Your heart, much like a land mine Silently intertwined The beat of our hearts, with such rhythms they dance At a glance, I saw your softness, the hurt beneath, I’ll guard your heart, tender and pure A love steadfast and sure, Forever secure.

Hearts Intertwined
You fell apart, split in two. So I stitched you back together, though I never learned how to sew. Needle and thread. You’re always in your head. If you were to bleed out, I’d hang you out to dry. Forever, until the day I die, and even after, I hope that it rains on my grave so flowers can bloom and reach out for you.
