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.

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.
