do not let me
give you
anything less than
milk and honey.
do not let me feed your soul
with emptiness.
empty words.
empty beauty.
empty love.
let every space
that i fill
be occupied by a love
that was worth all we did
to find it.
let me fill in the blanks you keep
with words that come from truth
let the beauty that i give you
mean something to you.

I wore the label, but darling she wore your heart. I know better than to play a losing game but dear, loving you makes me sane.

you’re not too sensitive.
you’re not overreacting.

if it hurts you,

it hurts you
