It's easier when my teardrops
Wash down the shower drain.

Cracking

I am always growing stronger.
I crack and I build
I crack and I build
Welding back together parts of myself
To strengthen.
Not all cracks heal seamlessly.
I am always crumbling.
Breaking at the fissions
Falling a few feet
Always climbing back up again.
Always growing stronger.
I crack and I build.
*I just wish I didn't crack so often.

Baby,
We have been apart longer
Than we have been together.
Mastered the distance,
We know what it's worth.
But baby,
I think we forgot
How to be together again.
Having you stand next to me
Was so surreal
I was at a loss for words.
We got it back though baby,
As soon as I sat down
With your arms perfectly around me
My world healed itself again.
No need for small talk
Just your sweet kisses
And our breathing in synch.
We can do this baby.
I know we can.
Just a few more months.

Please.
Let me mold myself into you.
As I sit in your lap
Kissing your forehead
I want to freeze.
Breathe on my neck until it melts
Break down this cold wall between us.
I know why it's there.
A coping mechanism
An attempt not to feel
While we were so far apart.
It's time for us to warm up again.
We could take it fast
And melt by vigorous friction
Or we could take it slow.
I want to drip,
Blend the puddles between ourselves
Become one again.
Through long-distance letters we built a snowman,
He welcomed us home.
Let's steal his scarf
And watch the sun come out.
I'll hold your hand until we can feel each other again.

Don't obsess over
the decision you made.
The important thing
is that you changed your mind.
Focus on that.
**You are your own hero.
I told myself I wouldn't eat today.
But I did eat today.
And I'm proud of myself.
