PTSD

Don’t worry

I’ll build you a house in the soft upper spot in my heart

There wont be Barbie’s, or neighbors

And we wont smoke, so we’ll be too good for crystal ash trays

I’ll purchase a porcelain tub so we wont need showers

Our clothes will all be tailored, so we wont need belts

It’s so warm, why not just be barefoot

It suited us just fine as innocent children

so you won’t even need to worry about seeing hard steal or hot leather

Everythings magic so I wont need to pull ropes or need to drag out a ladder

Who needs popcorn, when we have a garden

And the sun is so gracious, mud wont follow us inside

In the soft spot of my heart, its been vulnerable too

but we're still alive
