when my fears
ask why they should speak
softly around you,
i tell them…
your integrity tastes like sugar,
and that you carry goodness
in your hands like it
belongs

your beautiful gravity…
you feel like…
a terrifyingly
effortless fall
and i think

and if you
took me for granted…
you must know that that
was another life.
and i have found my way
to a new life.
and you are just not welcome here.
because i can no longer

a blessing in theirs.

to let all be such an
untamed. passionate thing.
maybe none of this is the safest way to love…
but i don’t know any other way.
