the ties from my
mind
to my
mouth
are already
dwindling,
so why not
sever
them
completely

i am a small
flower
with the mind
of a lion

my heart is
soft
but my words are
large

and i forget
how easy it is
to clip my
petals

until after
you have
brandished
the shears

you have
every right
to be
disappointed
and i have
every intention
to die

maybe
i am not
your
galaxy,
but i know
that i am one -

so do not tell me
that my stars
are mere
illusions
and my planets
are nothing
compared to
yours,

because maybe
i am not
your
galaxy,
but i know
that i am one

flames               go up
world               comes
down           shattered
glass             panicked
sound                 try to
leave                 maybe
escape                 try to
hurt and             try to
break                   what
happened      one day
life was                easy
wanted             to stay
it's not            easy it's
too hard             try to
heal                    *don't
crash                   a car

i know we cant
be
but sometimes i want to
be
