Find the __One__ Now we’re __Two__ Say those __Three__ words When skin & bone Become one; two beings Who __honour__ those three words — A love worth choosing.

One. Two. Three
__Dear IS__, Is it fair you hold the key to my drive— to make something, yet make it too frightening to try? Your breath pretends to drift slow in my ear, but beneath it, you’re clearing the field, planting seeds of every fear you know will take root. Is it the power lines I see wired from me to you— feeding your hands as you siphon my strength, splitting my will from the things I keep tucked deep in the vault of myself? As you arrange them like weapons, calling each by name to remind me of the parts I’ve tried to love but sometimes can’t. Is it the way I urge, wish, and will to act— only for you to spool film from my past, running old scenes like warnings until my courage caves to your script? Your message is _seen_: as nothing moves unless you approve. Is that you, who rests on my chest like a stone, chastising, shrinking me to the size of my doubts— small flaws made giant, slippery floors of thought that tilt more than they ever should? Well… not anymore. You don’t get to rule me, or write my rules. Goodbye, Insecurity—as if I could ever feel secure in you. Yours, faithfully unfaithful, Ex-companion.
