Gabriel

Take me away
Drag my wistful body with you
To the land i frequent but have never existed within
The heartland
That you must seek to find
When my arms are heavy and my head propped up on this
Adrenaline
Pillow
And the threat of reality looms omnipresent at the door
Probably the most explosive
Shame
In the history of a good
Girl
Names and emotional
Subtitles loom in a corner booth
Soundtracks meet me like an old friend
Phrases
Stick to me
Double sided tape
They take a little of me with them
Too
If i lay here
It will leave
If i lay here
it will leave
If i lay here
Covert identities
Stashed in a drawer
Hidden under a dresser
A clothesbin
A pocket
Stashed in me
Trusted to no one
I know words in other languages
I shouldnt know
Mesmerized by the curiosity of
A chance
A Chance
I wish i knew how to quit you
To undo the rope
Im done rappelling
Off this mountain
That
Breaks
My
Back
I am fluff
Lint on a rainbow shirt
A frequent washer
Never clean
I am the guilt at the seam
Because there is no gold
Foolish girl
The love of angels keeps me alive
But what would
Gabriel say
To that?
A lil baby gay who didn’t know they were queer as hell yet (and agnostic af)
