is this clarity
or hormones?
how awful
i cannot tell the difference

is that even fair?

the body i am meant
to love
to trust
to protect

can't even tell me
the truth
sometimes existing can be confusing

loving someone
is only giving them a door
giving them a door
a lock
a key
and a wrecking ball
they can choose to
destroy you
save you
protect you
they can do whatever they please
and in the end they leave
whether by
betrayal
forsaking
or death
they leave
and take a piece with them.

I want to be your doctor;
The reason you heal
The reason you smile, like days once past.
I want to be your nurse;
And nurture you back to health
Back to a you, who's free of bandage and cast.
I want to be your visitors;
And come see you daily
As you heal, and blossom into a flower most pure.
I want to be your someone;
Stand by and protect you
Make sure you laugh, my Panacea, my all-cure.

I hold you to my chest,
I hold you in my arms.
I'll keep you safe, my darling.
I'll keep you safe from harm.

Look into my eyes,
I'll make your worry disappear.
Stroke your tear-stained cheeks,
I'll wipe away your fear.

I love you, my darling.
I'll protect you with my life.
I promise, my darling.
I will never let you die.

neither nightmare nor a dream
stained in mauve are the back of my eyelids
hued with olives floral fadings be
i wash my crime off, one spatter at a time
and erase any false pretenses.
oh how i long for a canvas that's mine
a pulse to be uphold with nails of luster
to an empty museum dark and forlorn
smile. flash. take heed. don't ask for more.

preserve the art forever.

She is vast like women's heart
She is beautiful like women's heart
Difficult to find out feelings of both
Beautiful are both
Take a oath to protect the both

the people who should protect her
stare into her exhausted eyes 
and hammer nails into her heart.
chains bearing obligation and trauma
coil tighter and tighter around her ankles. 
resisting worsens the sensation -
almost cutting off the circulation
until the pain is so great 
that numbness takes over,
which leads to not resisting,
which feels like resignation - 
and the cycle keeps going.
all she wants is to run freely 
until the nails and chains
are distant memories 
that she will never
pass on to anyone else.

At this time
I'm not going to understand
The meaning of this,
But the kind of love they say is wrong,
Is the love I like.
Knowing the love you give
Makes the females trip;
My bad for falling,

My body trembles too pruly for others to love
who had no intention in
Keeping me forever.

There are wolves at the door,
        but we will never let
them get there claws into you.

We are looking for the princes
  that'll treat you right..

And  we know you'll defend them,
          the princes when the time comes.

Your strong my daughter,
            raised that your stronger

than anything that'll get in your way.

            Your the meaning to our life.

But your free, and your stronger than
           any before you.

                                      Kick there arses..
