stretched so tight I no longer feel..

the impenetrable wall

The divide growing

as our hearts are sowing new paths..

Opposition to one another

Fighting for space in the canvas of your heart..

Until I say no more

no more to saying yes

Freeing myself to choose..

Only when I’m free

Can i keep the monsters at bay

The ones I can’t see that choke the air out of me..

I knew this day might come

though I knew you were my truth..

there’s no comfort in waiting for the last beat of our hearts

Let it die before that starts..

But mostly

I need you to look out and see

you will always be a part of me..
