Newborn
******* my thumb like a nervous toddler
I fooled her into believing
Retained the innocence of a child
And like a baby cried into the void around me without reason
She licked wounds I pretended to have like a lioness cleans the fur of her cubs
Slurping my regrets like spaghetti noodles
I hid truth and to reciprocate she exposes my vulnerability as an infant
Despite deception she still longed to fix whatever made me lie in the first place
And that made me realize
Wasn't acting like a babe anymore
That night was a newborn again
Since then I have started to grow little by little
Day by day
