Doorstep (January day 9)
Folder:
2021 (January challenge) |
the rest of us |
just live here |
|
grow like wounds |
on your doorstep |
|
you say you couldn’t |
care less |
|
I care about everything |
crossing my path and |
|
you love me like |
heartache, some sort of fever |
|
stories I hope |
the other pieces of my heart will not have to hear |
|
I have never sang |
I wanted you |
|
without blood on your hands |
to understand I was drowning |
|
you keep me in the freezer |
for the summer nights |
|
this is what you do |
when I crumble in your hands |
|
if you step on me |
at least it is touch |
|
I’ll be anything, |
exactly what do you want me to be |
|
immobilized in the doorway |
in this house |
|
almost like you said you wanted |
nothing |
