Room is a building love is a feeling we all need love to get us through
terrible moments like togetherness we need other people for friendship to communicate with to be with

Birthed me,
nursed me,
trained me,
And most of all you loved me

to the womb that became my home for 9 months,
to the arms that never grew weary for years,
to the chest that turned my pillow for decade,
to the back that forever bended for me to find a comfort place of sleep,
and to the lap I'll never outgrow for,
I raise my fist up there in the sky to say,
Thank you

Seen enough
Stumbled enough
Tolerated enough
But still can't get enough
the way this world works

Tell me why you like him they say
I get it everyday.
Well let’s not delay,
The way he makes me smile
It last a while.
The safeness of his embrace,
It feels like the right place.
The look in his eyes,
Says no lies.
Holding his hand,
I feel like I understand.
My depression walks away when I’m with him,
He’s like a hymn.
Tell me it’s wrong:
But he’s my song.
The lyrics are his words,
The melody is his heartbeat,
He keeps me alive
And together we thrive.

she was an ocean.

oxygen is overrated.

watch, roses
blooming beneath
the caress of brine
blood cells unfolding.
