Land mine

You are a field full of land mines

that I am trying to traverse.

Every step is an explosion.

Breaking

I am holding on tightly

and breaking things.

A monster that doesn't

know their own strength.

Yet I feel so powerless.

You

You thought you would be fine with it,

but you're not.

Insecure.

Greedy.

Nothing will ever be enough.

Tear youself apart a bit more,

you agreed to this pain.

Release

You get tipsy

and the words are there,

and they pour out.

Morning

I fell in love with you

on your back porch.

With the birds,

and the sun,

and a cup of coffee

in my hand.

quiet

I quiet the part of me

that wants to scream.

Good Morning V

I am so hungry,

and so ugly,

and not good enough.

Good Morning IV

Good morning,

can we break up?

I'm feeling too much.

Katie

You held me in the sun,

until I felt peaceful.
