Drawing me in
I purse my lips
Pull the cords
Like I’m trying to keep the
words in
High off the tension
as it tightens around me
Worry lines appear
Deeply burrowed
How dare you make out
you care?
The destruction that
you cause in lying to me
I’m supposed to desire the fire
Lights lighting up the sky
Grateful
I’m bewildered over the small
piece of you that I battle for
Battle scars awaken
as I re-play our parts
Your whole heart
I push away
by pulling me in
The quotation marks
dug out from my forehead
No one’s untying me
How could you ever love me?
A face reading of boxer dog concern
You monitor me with understanding
and care
I am human to you
My heart lifts
and dances
The T-Rex arms, they twirl
