I unsubscribed from the news
The internet
The perfect
places
—–
I was strutting around
Like I owned the town
When I think back on it …
Now I feel this winter in my chest
I’m humbled to know so many people that love me
I know now
You can win and you can lose
And you can do both gracefully
—-
It feels like this weight
Pushing down on me
I’m running
And I can’t stop
And there’s a ledge
I know it’s there
But I can’t stop
—–
I know you can love
I’ve seen you do it
You just choose to love me poorly….
Maybe I choose too
—
I hear myself say, this is who I am…I’m good at loving people
I’m good at being here with you …
But then I hear you say
This is just who you are…
And I wonder
How we have the same defense
And
How we
Left the bedroom
Look at our weapons
Hidden away
Throughout this home
This is a battlefield
—-
I used to strut around like I knew something
Now I’m humbled
I’m not sure what I know
Even about myself
I reserve the right to write what I want
I’m coming home to myself
The trees are still asleep in the morning
Your skin is soft against mine
Your eyes say good morning
Long before your lips
Two souls
Anchored together
Like ships in the water
The moon is down
I feel your light
And you are beautiful
Beautiful
I used to know
What did I know
Now
I’m just thankful
To share this space with you
I can still taste your lips
