Naked.

I thought I understood it
That I could grasp it
But I didn’t
Not really
I knew the smudgeness of it
The pink-slippered-all-containered-semi-precious eagerness of it
I didn’t realize it would sometimes be more than whole
The wholeness was a rather luxurious idea
Because its the halves that halve you in half
Didn’t know
Don’t know about the in between bits
The gore-y bits of you
And gore-y bits of me

-Like Crazy

fragile

Take another sip

Thoughts drift like a cloud

You’re mind so honest

Pure and pours through the

Cracks between your teeth and your

Tongue, truths leaking into the mind

Of you’re mouths direction

As if they haven’t met you until that moment

“This is who I am,” my mind proclaims

“Judge me because I am not innocent.”

And the pieces of your heart

Broken glass on the ground

Because that sip, 

It didn’t heal you like you wanted it to.

Because the night gave you scabs

Blood on your knees

Yesterday gave you scars and 

A heart that bleeds.

Heart skipped a beat

& when I caught it you were out of reach.

farewell

You touched my skin

Entered my mind

Stung me with

complexity.

I walk away

Erase your memory

No more evidence

You disrupted my journey toward

Simplicity.
