Well

Weighty amounts of scar tissue remain intertwined with my pores

An inch covering me for each moment your icy, jade pupils peered into the depths of me

And unfortunately for me, casted a lure into my interworkings and jammed all of my gears up one by one

I was Halloween and you were the summer heat

I initially thought to myself after glancing over your wicked field and thorn pastures

"What a lovely shade of green."

And each step I have taken further into the thick of your trees

Has scarred and cured the soles of my feet beyond belief

"I must be indestructible."

With each creak and crack of my metacarpals

Tissue wearing away into bone and grooves that lie

From holding onto your roots and the passion invested between us

Your winds of change have threatened to blow me away immeasurably

But whatever I am is rooted in the remains of what you are

While flowers are blooming inside of me

You're wandering; eyes stargazing; entirely too busy to maintain the fires you've ignited long ago

I remember the good things

Ceasing the storms inside of one another

Holding me so tight I could feel my ribs breaking

Inadequacy trickles down your spine in waves, pools at your feet and clings to your shoes and socks. Makes your feet as blue as your eyes. You withdraw, lose assurance like shedding skin, don’t have the energy to piece it back together. Fall into the cycle of I’m not good enough I’ll stay away and I’m not good enough because I stay away. Look to people with the confidence of fires and wish and wish you could burn like that. Instead you watch a moment happen like you’re an outsider, like you’re not supposed to be there. Like none of them would notice if you weren’t.
