the way you would say such
pretty things to me, i took it in like air,

that person whose
broken pieces fit into
your broken pieces isn’t the one

feels like home
and you can only romanticize bad
habits for so long,
before the ache to yourself
calls you home

and when
i write this out,

evergreen…
may what you offer my heart
when we start

be evergreen
and expand
may no promise
rescind
with the wind
or time
may all you say is mine
be mine
…forever

on their own way…
in soul searching,
we must all find
our own legs beneath us,
our own voice inside of us,
and our own
light to guide us.
