being triggered/splitting is scary,
I could just see everything negative in everything he said
I saw all my fears, all my grievances, all my insecurities come at me
I was more fighting them instead of him
I'm self-soothing, rocking back and forth while I think about today
I want to be held and rocked like a little girl in daddy's arms
I want him to rub his palm over the top of my hands
move his hands up my arms and on my waist
I want to fall asleep right now on his chest
feel the soft fluffs of hair on his chest, hear his heartbeat slowly and steadily
it pains me I said those things to him;
it pains me the heartache I went through that I created
it pains me to think I was so close to pushing him out the door
like I have so many other times to many others, not that I am a victim, but that I am too ... scared? too fearful? phobia of abandonment
and it felt like all I knew
so much all I knew, I forgot who he was
I forgot who I was
but he told me we wrote it in stone, in the digital waters, and etched into our hearts
that he would never leave me, not even if I begged him, he would never leave me
and I will never leave him
what I did in life to become a star, what I did in life to be in love
the things I did, the paths I walked, the songs I sang
to be the one who got to carry those things, to be the one who was loved
to be the one who would give love, to be his star in his eyes, to see high eyes light up one more time
when I'd walk into a room, to look at me with those adoring eyes that you only see a few times in your life
and I did it; I did it this time where he'd tell me he'd do it for 35 more years,
he said he'd do it for life, and that's fine — until the morning comes,
in the morning accolades, the chiming of birds held a fair advantages
this fall rowing together, the morrow, my lord: morning comes, and things might wipe my memory, again,
but don't live in fear, live in beauty knowing I'll be back in the light again: don't be sad over how I am,
for 35 more years to come, I'll be bouncing off of walls, terrified of what this might mean as long as I am with you
I'll be with you until our lives come to an end, when I'm old, I'm old, you're old
I'd let him be rougher, I told him to let me be rougher, and he said I can as long as he can be rougher
and I like it rough; I want it a bit more rough from you: don't yell at me; I just want to feel your hands grip my arms, make your hands grip my waist
I feel sleepy thinking about you; I don't want to sleep a night without you
saccharine, sweet like saccharine, what I'd do to have you next to me,
all the things I've done in my life to have sweetness next to me
lied down without reaches of a summer or winter's sun
the moon has turned its back on me, and so has the sun,
stars are out of beams, and I don't absorb their rays
within reefs and caves, within caverns and coves
laminar flow around me, whistling and windling songs free from cracks and bubbles
down here, I spent to look for ways to draw sweetness out of me
to pour sweetness into me, my veins, my throat,
my sleepy eyes
surface, area, the squandalous round shining disc, A-Ra.
[R]Amen.
mossy bed, your hair are made of sprigs and leaves
branches for your arms and twigs for your feet, nature woodland man,
creature from the tree, looking all around you see me, celestial mermaid being
perhaps you'd fall in love, and perhaps we'd fall in love
