An open thought for
What it means & how it feels
And the difference in each. (Are you half unseen?)
All at once, I am all my best and all my worst
Do you wear it like a wreath when you can't sleep?
It flooded every inch of me
Is it easier to breathe when I'm beneath you?
Adjacent cause; adjacent flaws
They do not spell out a name
Nor the boundaries you claim
When you feel you fit the frame
Crown the depths
Unsteep your guilt and your unrest
Reach around that remembrance, still
Hold me down until I do not speak anymore, and let it go
Do we brace until it breaks us in at last?
You are the daydream that I dread
Why is it harder to leave than to stave you off?
Are you learning how it reads from far away?
They won't love you for your grief
It's a prayer that you whispered half asleep
It's not a promise that you'll keep
