spirit
i’m just
too in love with love
for anything less
than that heart racing,
soul craving,
lose my breath,
and feel my infinity
in the beating of your chest
kind of love

so achingly
desperate to believe
in myself, in life,
and in anything beautiful that can’t
be crushed by something cruel

save
yourself
for people who
always treat you
in such a way
that lets you love
yourself

that person whose
broken pieces fit into
your broken pieces isn’t the one
they may keep the bed warm,
but they’re keeping you from whole…
just pretending that being broken
feels like home
and you can only romanticize bad
habits for so long,
before the ache to yourself
calls you home

a persistent yearning
to feel at home in this skin,
to feel my soul
grounded in these bones

and when
i write this out,
this isn’t to remember you…
it’s to take it away
from you,
i’ll take all these feelings i felt
and i’ll make art,
i’ll make something beautiful,
i’ll make something new
– the alchemy in poetry
