Insides

Insides

I don't know, what it's like to love me
But, my rib cage sprouts daisies just in case we have babies, lately I've been saying you're the one

I, have aches in my bones that probably aren't worth touching but you make sure you fill the sections of me that seem to have been abandoned, sometime in early February

I, have sores on my lips from the truths I'll never tell because I was
Once too ugly
I'm used to speaking so deep my love becomes frightening
I, know I'm capable of scaring you away too
I don't want to scar you with all of my emotional abuse
I promise, I will make a lover out of you

I have the ocean amongst my thighs
Sometimes I forget how easy it is to sink so
Keep on swimming
Keep on feeling
Keep on coming back into me with all that hope for infinity
My right wrist has become rusty
I don't usually write about people who voluntarily love me
Who unconditionally trust me not to fuck them up too

I can't promise you that you're right about me
I have bruises on my chest from the parts of my heart I've tried to silence, it beats louder
And lately it beats harder and harder and harder
I wish I could save you from me but you insisted on laying with me
You found a vacancy so
I hope you plan to watch the fires that you placed inside of me
