Drink
Some days I think it’ll take a miracle for me to ever
feel loved
now I want to smash pianos
drink from a snow melted river
And buy a blueberry donut as a peace offering
I’m trying
I’m trying
I’m trying
To come back
Hiding how I want to sob
How can they see me
when they don’t see themselves
He wants a soft person who doesn’t argue
passive
motherly
Not fired into the world like a cannon
I swear it
I felt it when his ear
pressed against my ear
The quietest places speak so
definitively
If you’d stop
To be present
Wish you’d heard what I
burned
and splashed
Smothered in vanilla
I’m going to run
through your brain
muscles
heart
blood
Like a little mouse
forever
