eggshells

I wanted to fill in all the spaces in-between the brick walls
        or all the cracks in the ground

and fade like my kisses on your lips




I never wanted my spine
      to be pulled up so that I was left standing on my tippy-toes
        and have you slap on wings


only to have you cut them with safety scissors
                                                                  in mid-flight

Author notes

thank you for lifting me up
just so i could walk on fragile ground [[ eggshells]]
and you could make me crash
fall
and fail

<33
glad you used safety scissors
that way it didn’t hurt so much


In a list

                        deep and nicely written. it has this third dimention to it too which is cool. actually ur liek the only person who ive seen who has it its really tight. like you go depth and broadness and surface. noone else has the broadness.

                        i call that skills
                        :]
