I exist inside a vast space of your heart
called Love I see no end, barely a start
that will let me watch stars in our night
you blind me while I stare in your light.
I remember your smell and your heat
as you gently push me down to eat.

I think we’re just
bodies sometimes

a how-to
on becoming the ocean

or Saturday

something to swallow

It’ll make a list of me
easy

I call it something else
let it run across me like
calling it back

acts like a thorn
& turns me back to flowers

You built up the wall that stands in your way
Trying to find a crack to escape
Broken down pieces
Fragments all around you
Yet the walls are still standing, your stuck like glue
You are the one who gets in the way
Nobody else who can take that blame
But you built this wall like a cone of shame
Hiding in plain sight is the name of the game

Kicking and screaming in the depths of your mind
Silence is screeching within your sense of time
Kicked back to reality with the tears you still cry
Over and over this nightmare lives out in my mind
But looks there’s a hammer, I call it my heart
Break down these walls
Tear them apart
I found the way out of this invisible box
Wish we could turn back the hands on the clock

I stood in my own way
I broke down these walls
I may be broken but it didn’t break me enough
I’m who I am from all I’ve been through
Trusting my instincts and holding my heart

You built up the wall that stands in your way
Trying to find a crack to escape
Broken down pieces
Fragments all around you
Yet the walls are still standing…


Yet, I found a way out…..
