You’ve kept me at an easy let go
The handcuffs behind my back
Are becoming cold
And I’ll admit,
I was too embarrassed to let you know
I miss the way the weight of the guitar
Used to hold a whimper to your name
Even though every pitch may have been crooked
And all my notes were strained
The innocence and leftovers
Sort of took all that away
Switched out for the ultimate fix
I haven’t had mine yet
Breaking by these little bits
It’s become too hard to quit
I’ll compare this next burn
To be just as drugged as the sun
As it gets its best feel
On cutting the horizon
Through the stomach
Just as I wanted to do to you
The bird’s most poisonous breath
Perched on the outermost part of my soul
Unadvised to what wingspan
Wore down yesterday
And ripped down the heavens with it
Not too gold, not too gold
I am just as blind as the bat
The sun is no friend of mine
You’re so bold, so bold
I’m so below it
So bland and pale compared to you
And you don’t even notice
We drained tomorrow in a cup
You have brought out every color in me
And then some
To expect nothing of it, I wouldn’t
But to arrest my heart
Under the first step you took towards me
I wasn’t ready
To be tamed and you weren’t ready
To be torn
I’m just as restless, and you’re just as ripped
Still, we haven’t learned a thing
Only memories and trips
Back to a feeling we’d wish we could forget
But…
I just can’t.
And that’s just it.
Author notes
I feel odd.
They're only words.

You are NOT "below" Anything. You are this website's Best Kept Secret.
I found you! (lucky me)

I love the part about the guitar, probably because it's so fitting for you
But I love all of it, because your writing is always so fascinating.
When I'm reading, I'm always thinking, dang, she could take each one of these sets and make it a whole poem of it's own
It's amazing how you can consistently come up with such unique and creative metaphors and you're always so original...and they are never the same. True, and pure, talent...you are!
Sorry I haven't been able to keep up
