an open thought for
what it means & how it feels,
and the difference in each. (are you half unseen?)
all at once, i am all my best and all my worst.
do you wear it like a wreath when you can’t sleep?
it flooded every inch of me.
is it easier to breathe when i’m beneath you?
adjacent cause; adjacent flaws:
they do not spell out a name,
nor the boundaries you claim
when you feel you fit the frame.
crown the depths,
unsteep your guilt and your unrest.
reach around that remembrance, still.
hold me down until i do not speak anymore, and let it go.
do we brace until it breaks us in at last?
you are the daydream that i dread.
why is it harder to leave than to stave you off?
are you learning how it reads from far away?
they won’t love you for your grief.
it’s a prayer that you whispered half asleep,
it’s not a promise that you’ll keep.
