Love? Maybe.
Not all rivers
end up in the ocean–
doesn't make their journey
less worthy.

Not all love
ends up in a lover's arms–
doesn't make it any less
worthy.

Where it’d go?
Word made of air,
It danced out my lips.
But didn’t get shared.

It got stuck in my throat.
Or lost in my mind.
Of course it’s in a place
I cannot find.

Word made of air
Word made of air
You were meant
To help despair.

Oh! But where have you gone?
I’ll probably remember you by dawn.
Please tell me someone can relate 😔 I dislike forgetting something that was going so well.

i open the curtains
behind my windowsill
so you can glow in the sun—
light spilling over your petals,
straight into my eyes.
they water, of course,
but you look so radiant
i forget to blink.

i breathe you in, and everything burns.
my eyes won’t stop itching,
my chest feels heavy,
my throat a slow flame—
the weight of loving you.
but i never move you.
i let you bloom
right beside me,
because love, i think,
is sometimes choosing the ache.

i am a porcelain doll
a presentation, a display
if i crack
they'll see my decay

i am an actor
a phony, a fake
i bind my chest
and hope i don't break

i am a marionette
a puppet, a toy
"look at this ***...
he'll never be a real boy."
i tend to dress and present more androgynous and i dress kind of femininely and it's a pain in the ***. i have to deal with transphobic relatives soon

i'm afraid that i'm going to turn into you
i don't want to hurt people like that
i know everyone is afraid to become their parents but i really don't want to ruin someones life

Maybe tonight the moon comes by,
Maybe they wouldn't call me crazy every time I pass by,
Is it to much to ask why stay just a another night,
Is it me, that's causes you to flight or fight,
Will you leave me just like others did,
After I show you my inside Kid,
Dreaming is believing,
Believing is seeing,
I just want to leave this world behind, and
Meet to in-between
