I’ve worn faces,
for you,
like make up

to never age,
I was there
to save

you, from you.
But
you never lemme be

me. My tears
flow down the window pane

but the pain’s
frozen
in the reflected eyes

and to me
you seem flawed
beyond recovery

struggling to see you,
I aim for clarity

that does not come
until it’s too late.

“Let me cover your shit
in glitter,” love

I promise to melt
your heart into mine

this is your home —
your yellow brick road.

Zev and I first collaborated on June 18, 2017. What I have learned since then is that he still has no fear when it comes to words, not only is this the case — he can thoroughly back it up. I have learned a great deal reading what he has to share and I hope I continue to do so. Medium, get to know our Young Minds on this platform. They will astound you.
