Poems
Jun 16
before the yes.
I said your name last night,
to no one—just my shadow on the wall,
softly, a suggestion of a whisper,
pretending it didn't hurt at all.
I carry you like bruises,
and although I swore I wouldn't beg,
here I am, on my knees,
inside every text that I don't send.
It's not the act I fear,
but the breath before the yes—
as our worlds begin to unravel
like silk, shredded by violence.
If I break, please, break with me,
let's fall apart together now,
let's cry, as we burn to pieces.
I expect you to break me right.
June 16, 2025.
