for a long time i thought i had to be deserving of love, good enough for it
stupid ******* thought
you are loved or you aren't yet.
not a choice, an award or anything like that,
it just is
just happens,
easy or not.

i only love the kindness i give to you and i hate all the rest,
what do i offer the world day after day except the bitterness of someone who can't be bothered to live for real,
what good am i, for myself.
i don't know. i don't know and i'm tired of trying.

you kiss me
you kiss me,
that'd never happen (will it ?)
i know (do i ?)
but you kiss me
and i don't soar, i don't fly i don't do nothing of that
i just hold your hand and thank the prayer,
thank the saint, thank the giver,
i don't ask for one more, don't want it
just once, 𝘫𝘢𝘴𝘡 𝘰𝘯𝘀𝘦.

body so frail, yet holding so much
a little place for everyone in every corner,
body so tough, keeping you all safe inside,
holding me up, making me breathe easier,
body so loved, sure not by me but still,
letting me live.
i say thank you to its creator,
and its living creatures.
had to explain how i loved once, and i said i kept everyone inside me, like a big houses with many many rooms, and to each his own, even if they wanted to leave i'd still keep the little room for them.

im sat on the couch where i noticed
i've hugged you so much that my sweater smells like you,
and im sad right now, but the scent lingers and i know
that it'll pass tomorrow

When I look at you at night I think
God, why did you make him,
Just to please me or haunt me ?
I don't know if having you or being far would hurt more
I don't know if my body could stand the hurricane of your skin on mine, or if it would burn itself without it.

What can a man do but love you, what can I do but want you,
Because I 𝘸𝘒𝘯𝘡 you.
I need to touch the neck that keeps your head high and thank it,
I want to feel your hands on my face, reverent, like they never want to leave
Want to hear your voice crack when I touch you,
Your whispers, your moans, the deep notes it would sing when I let you unravel under me,
I want it so bad, I would accept anything.
Even a second of it. Even less than that.
Anything from you, God do you hear my plea, anything from you.
ok but like, you ever read "The Thirteen Letters" before ?

how many hours have i lost to trying to explain my existence to people who won't let me be.
day after day after day telling you
that i should be breathing too.
the exhaustion runs so deep that i can feel it
pulling me apart, like if i close my eyes
i won't be strong enough to open them again.
