messy and wild…

falling all over you messy and wild, just dying to love you reckless and wild

can you love my restless soul
and bleeding heart… they’re falling
all over you messy and wild, just dying
to love you reckless and wild.

little by little, i’m learning to love myself. and it might be slow…

little by little, i'm learning to love myself

little by little
i’m learning to love myself.

and it might be slow,

but i’m certain in letting go of
all the things that tell me i shouldn’t.

muscle memory…

it's a whole new muscle memory my heart still has to learn.

i spent so long aching for him to be good to me,
to just let someone be good to me…
it’s a whole new muscle memory
my heart still has to learn.

the remarkable, uncommon texture of your soul…

the remarkable, uncommon texture of your soul

when you can feel
the remarkable, uncommon
texture of your soul,
you can’t imagine letting anyone close
who isn’t perfectly meant to
intertwine with it
