so keep my
Name
out of your mouth

swallow your words and sit back down

x Nov 2018

tell me you love me
and i’ll feign ignorance
to the fingers crossed under the table

hold my hand tight
and i’ll push away thoughts
of her doing the same to you

whisper pretty things to me
and i’ll forget the way
i glanced upon the same words in texts to girls that are not me

celebrate my love

mother took me to church at eleven
and as i sat in their electric chair
they told me that i’d never see heaven
told them it was the girl with chesnut hair

father found me in the parade one day
as i clung to a girl that spoke of tulips
he told me no child of his would be gay
i sobbed til she covered my lips

but today i donned my badges with pride
as i wandered around wedding fairs
as i know that someday i’ll have my bride
and love wont just be full of scares

i watched women fight for our own rights
the rights let me celebrate my love

your natural disaster

today my eyes took in wonders:
oceans,
mountains,
cities from miles above

and still

your face was the only thing that danced a whirlwind around my mind

x Nov 2018

souls of the cold

i lost a part of my soul
as your blood ran cold
it was the part i had given you months before
laced within tender messages
i know i’ll never retrieve the fragments of my mind
ones that i could only bare to you
but
i’m at peace with that
because
i know you’re keeping me safe from where you watch

one.

rip open my chest and tear out my heart
crush it between your rough fingers
break me like you always do

and then
when youve destroyed me enough

use my blood to write upon a gift basket card
scrawl our languid apologies and hollow promises

and then

allow me to fall back into your arms and repeat this cycle because i am nothing without the way you break me
