Home is where the heart is,
and mine's with you

Your apathy walks atop my broken faith with
nonchalant animosity.

Water gently laps
against my feet and now I
know that I'm at peace.

Deep and earthy scents,
moss pillows and tree-root beds,
rocks my stable base.

Gentle breezes, kiss
my face and promise peace, and
whisper me to sleep.

Time to get* dressed
*Put on a smile for the world
Try to act normal.

i was sure i knew
what earthly evil looked like.
but then i met you

I have shared my love with too many thieves
I wear my scars like a tattoo sleeve

I have shared my body with too many beasts
blood, sweat, and tears on my bedroom sheets

I have given things that I did not have
now I need purification, a sinners bath

I have lost count of partners and dates
now I choose to love myself, I hope it's not too late
