how easily, naturally as kids we spilled our hearts out to each other i was with you then in my closet, to get away from our parents. flashlight in front, hearts in our hands. i told you everything, before forming the questions i had for you. i gave you everything, hoping it wasn’t too much. we spent nights situated on top of those words, wondering how it impacted. how each other felt after. as an adult, i feel overwhelmed, out of reach. childlike wonders cease me as my vices replace me. where’s my childlike wonder? buried in my hands, where i crushed my heart? or in my chest where you placed yours? so i searched. and as naturally, easily as i remembered, i spilt my heart out on pen, and slid it to you with a heart embroidered on the side. hoping it wasn’t too much.

childlike wonder
crazy klepto nepo baby esoteric and apologetic having heartbreaks and toothaches field trips and explicit clips poetry books and deceiving looks endless games with forgettable names revealing lace beneath her face a heart of stone under her bones as wild as any summer storm defying every social norm Mind clad with iron, she never grows sad But after each night The glow of her light dims away.
