These ideas of Limits and Ties,
Infect the brain.
Their murky ink spreads and soils the neurons,
all while polluting the soul.

We imagine such boundaries will fade,
And say words like,
"When I'm older, wiser."
"When I'm more educated, cultured."
"When I'm free to do as I please."

That is when,
These ideas of Limits and Ties,
Have finally swallowed you whole.

of bittersweet
nothing that you
stained me with
when you spouted
out your rugged lies

How do eyes
hide lies
How do eyes
paint the disguise
You wear so seamlessly
You  whisper words of
forever so dreamlessly
But naive
I
will
buy
it all
and fall
and fall

Deeper into this
picture perfect wonderland
I will have this
fairytale overrated brand
Of what it is to be
in heart racing
Butterfly inducing
Stu-stuh-stutterr causing lo-luh-lust
Because everyone knows
that wide eyed girl
Lost
in
her curiosity
Who wandered astray
and came upon
your animosity.
You tended to the forest in my
chest and now you're gone and
the roots are overgrown, and the
leaves are making their way up to
my mouth and I can taste them when
I breathe your name late at night. It
hurts. Now come back and finish
what you've done to my insides.
