No longer small
So grown up
So far to fall
...
Don't tell me what you're feeling yet;
My ears aren't yet prepared.
Don't ask me what I feel for you;
my mouth is still quite scared.
...
Can we get clean again?
The speakers inquire;
Inescapable sounds
That spread through her like fire.

'Her 'if-less' today'

good or bad—
...
Eyes looking up,
She stood in wonder.
Clouds flowing like an endless ocean,
Prayers drowning in the abyss.

...
Pierce me with the right,
Clear me of the wrong.
Love me with entirety
Encompass me with you.
...
Puddles inconsistent with love everlasting,
Not knowing what I’m saying,
All means something.
Intensifying fear,
