you were born quiet;
a frozen and dormant caterpillar...
My head intertwines
with billowy clouds...
it's been years since i've stayed up
all night; trust me, this isn't my choosing...
honeyed as your words were,
it was your heart that did me in...
you're afraid to close your eyes
once you do the world...
You’re the
essence...
Smoky pine, cedar, and cloves
haunt the grove close to home...
From the waist down,
you're bruised with judgement...
exhausted with the expectations
leave me barefoot in heavy snow...
the sky closes her eyes
and you feel your body...
How do you escape
The very need to escape...
my head atop your chest, inundated with the sound
of your beating heart, i whimper and instinctively...
