i’m restless and wild again…
and all i wanna do is get
lost with you.

confirmation bias…
stop listening
to the voice that tells you
that love is supposed to be hard,
it keeps leading you to places where
love ends up being hard.

it feels like
coming home after
being gone for too long
the way i gravitate to
the good in you…
how i just crave
that goodness in you.

but if it’s love…
when it asks you to come along,
it will not ask you to leave
yourself behind

now that i know you exist…
how do i not love you.
how do i not follow this gravity towards you.
now that i feel this, how could i ever not. feel. this.
i don’t know how i could ever be here in this life
and not. love you. i just have no choice.
but then… you made a choice.
and now i have no choice.
and i don’t know how…
how will i be here in this world
with you somewhere else in this world.
how. will i learn to pull myself out of this gravity
and not feel this anymore now that i have felt. this.
how…
now that i know you exist…
how do i not love you.

promises…
the spaces we’ve called love…
the spaces we’ve called love…
it’s heartbreaking
how many of us have felt in love
with people who were not even kind
to us…
how many of us weren’t taught that
love can’t exist in a space without kindness.
or without respect. or in a space that
doesn’t honor us and cherish us.
so many of us are learning that the spaces
we’ve called being in love, weren’t
spaces of love at all

it’s been torn,
and tattered,
and broken apart,
but keep me vulnerable
and broken open,
please stay
my tender heart

my power has been,
in spite of everything, always
finding it in me somewhere
to say to myself… you are worthy.
