how do you say, “This is serious”
without using the words?
how do you not be a drama queen,
but let people know
what's going on
Even if all this is just me learning I'm human...
I don't quite know that yet, and you need to acknowledge this overzealous sense of despair
from my heart that feels so delicately breakable
--and it is, and it's a rite of passage into humanity...
but I don't know that yet.

so meet me down where I am, where your love (which touches me most when it touches dust)
can give me a breath in my soul, a touch of colour,
and then I can start to meet your eyes at least if not the blue of the sky yet

Deep and haunting. Thanks for sharing this.
