Too much change Is bad for your heart Weighs heavy in your thin places Like locking your throat While the bags under your eyes Pull their draw strings shut to keep all that trash in
No one wants to know what your ***** laundry smells like Not even you
And so much this feels like stepping into yesterday Wearing brand new shoes Where no matter what The only thing I could have done differently is walk away
You give yourself lists Of I can leave after I fix the car And throw away all our old stuff After mom comes home sober but still broken There will always be something or someone You forgot to fix
But you will walk away from this It will feel like heaven Leaving all the dirt behind
Only heaven is more or less a line of people Wondering if they turned their stoves off or not
I never draft or even edit really my poems. Mostly what comes out of me gets posted the second I am done. I don't feel this is finished though. There are words that are hanging heavy on my heart, and I am currently speechless.
