my mom thinks it’s a hickey on my neck
and i’d rather her think that
than know it’s from your fingers
clamping my throat shut
with rage

you
in my life
nothing has ever felt right,
but you
have never felt wrong

“don’t you miss me?..”
i cry
knowing that the answer
is not in my favor

being as young as i am
i am not allowed to feel so deeply
know too much
and talk as loud as i want
i must abide by the rules and listen carefully
i didn’t know being a person
had an age limit

as i lay by your side
skin touching skin
i can’t help but flood my mind
with truths of the past
where i was so much more
than just a text at 3am
MaKenzie Unser Dec 2018
i am
more
than just
lace *******
and a smile
MaKenzie Unser Dec 2018
no matter how many times
your thorns rip through my flesh
i will still look into your eyes
and only see the beautiful rose petals
