He’s pretty enough
But when it goes dark, it’s she
That shines most brightly
He’s pretty enough
But when it goes dark, it’s she
That shines most brightly
Large curd cottage cheese
Slopped on my plate with a spoon
Are you even cheese
Kaboom and kablam
They look strangely combative
Colors of freedom
Panic and terror
Unshakable sense of dread
Is the oven on?
Before
Always remember
As the sun surely rises
The sun always sets
After
The sun still rises
Just as surely as it sets
Does it still matter
“Wait!” Just breathe. “Don’t jump!”
I’m here now. “Take my hand!” Breathe.
“We’ll go together.”
Your hand is enough
I just can’t be that cruel
I can’t take your heart
Bright, smiling faces
Frown only on the inside
Better tomorrows
A face that doesn’t smile
And hands you won’t let me hold
Come down from your wall
Around my finger
Fabric and flesh together
It will be okay
