To be bare.

To be vulnerable.

To be ripped down
To your support
Structure.

And,
Naked.

In front of everyone.

Full of judgement.

And,
If I cared enough
For what people
Would think.

I wouldn't have given
You these
Notes.

From the
Underground.

If you break my heart.
Will you mend it.
Will you wipe away the many tears.
That I shed for only you.
Will you replace the light that shone forth.
As my eyes lingered only on you.
Will you fix this broken vessel.
That was perfect when you met it.
Or will you walk away.
And say, let's just call it a day

I have all this love
And nowhere to put it
It's rotting inside me
Soft,warm
Unspent.

I reach out in dreams
But wake up alone
His name buried in my throat
Like a secret
I was not allowed to say.

He didn't stay
But the love did
And now it grows wild
Inside a heart
With no one left
To give it to.

Laying on the beach
alone in the dark,
only with the stars
and the sound of the waves.

Sitting on the edge,
just where the tide could touch my toes
but doesn’t.

There’s sand in my hair
but I don’t mind-
it’s warm against my back.

I feel everything
and nothing
all at once,
staring at the moon
as if she’s looking back.

And when the cold water
hits my skin,
I know what she means
and I feel content enough
to leave.

I ache to go back
but I’ve come too far.
What I miss
might undo
who I am.

I want to be the dandelion
growing in between the cracks
in the sidewalk
living in spite
of everything trying to
**** it
