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
wear that shade of unworthiness,
or hold that self-unkindness,
that let me live a life
where the people i let close to me
ever treated me as anything less than
a blessing in theirs.

and every time they
try to make you feel unworthy…
just go towards yourself.
choose to love yourself more.
and build such an unshakable bond
with your worth that there’s just
nothing anyone can ever do
to take you away from it.

your heart is too
special to not be carried
kindly, to not be held like
it’s magic

nothing softens me
towards someone like the way
strength of character does

and maybe it’s just
too vulnerable a thing…
this ache to feel it all so deep,
to break myself so open,
to feel it all so sweet,
and to crave the wildest ways
that it can burn,
to let it make me such a mess and
bring me to such an edge,
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.

close…
it holds
all these fears,
but all this softness,
in the most
vulnerable place
we ever know

for so long
i wanted you to hold me
until i realized how small you
needed me to be to fit
within your grasp

i’m here… wanting
to know the shape of you,
without having to lose my own.
but just not yet knowing how…
how to take you in, but keep me too.
how to breathe love and
wholeness all at once.

but this… this is something more,
it’s some sort of holy thing, a sacred thing
…this love.
