Will you write my memories
In a bold font
Curate my remembrance of you
Sweet as the honey it is

When I opened my eyes
I saw fire in you
You were made of glass

Have I been sleeping this eternity away
Looking for good in glass people
To know it burns within me

We were nothing before this
Your soul lost in something other than space
Did you know you would have to make purpose here
Find meaning

I do not know of your age
I have been practicing immortality
As long as I have been alive

It's all questions and lies
Pain and goodbye
Bittersweet flavor always stays
In the pockets of my mouth

Do you ever take a break from aging
Letting the child within fill the space
This is their home too
Before you
And whatever you call advanced consciousness

Can you in honesty call it advanced
If joy has not lingered
With the accumulation of wisdom
Perhaps we have learned nothing at all

I feed neither of my wolves
Let them hunt if they hunger

For so long I have felt like I am falling asleep.

Have I been such a stranger to peace my whole life that when she comes to settle, I do not know her face?
I had to change my vocabulary, from "I'm bored" to "I am at peace."

Feast on my emptiness
Then neither of us will be satiated

Endings are as neutral as change in the weather

Winter always comes around eventually

You can see bruises
Ripening on my apple skin

I don't want you to recognize them
If you placed your palms against them
Would they fit like key-in-lock

We all have our own unique fingerprints
Mine are frost bitten

Do not betray the love of a broken heart
Where will it go when you break it
