Hesitate
Gently remove my petals
speak harmonies
I am in between
longing and isolation towers
• • •
Want to know
the warmth of your kiss
and not be terrified by after effects
No empty space in my bed
I fill it with pillows and my escape
• • •
Would you tuck these sheets
beneath my legs
Don’t run when I shake
Show me grace when I resist
I do really want this
Convince me the monsters
are all dismissed
• • •
Bring your flashlight 🔦
check under my bed
Turns the lights off
allow my armor to collapse
Don’t give me any reasons
to stop believing
• • •
stop breathing
• • •
Help my body stay
• • •
These bags keep gripping my wrists
so deeply, they leave regrets
Can you carry them for me
Can we both, be less lonely
This isn’t a plea for saving
But a question to the universe ✨
Petals & Teeth
Ohhhh. So sweet and vulnerable. The stuff of Presence.
“Help my body stay” stayed with me. Sometimes that says more than a whole explanation could.
