Today I saw a skein of yarn the color of your hairMy heart raced as I touched itA memory, a desire, a hopeTo be close to you again
Last night I felt the doors of my heart openingAnd I heard the sounds of yours…
I don’t want you to learn to love meI want you to love me
I want you to come into my heart’s basementKick off your shoes, grab the remote and watch netflixCurl up in your favorite fleece blanket and doze offMaybe with hot chocolateSafe…
WordsWords tear at my covering skin and hideReveal the soft fleshBleeding
A hundred spear heads remain embeddedVisible shafts broken off and thrown awayThick jacket over top
