Take me to bed
In the forest
So I can feel the cold damp earth
Against my naked back
...
You said I was what you wanted
After I unzipped my skin
And stepped out a different person
Because who I was wasn't enough
...
I'm haunted by the ghosts
Of men
Who came into my life and
Shook it up
...
for a beautiful man
who will not read this
but should know
that getting to know him
...
Grief invades your ears
And ruptures your eardrums
With a deafening roar
That leaves everything else
...
When the air is still
And crisp
And not a sound is heard
As the sharpest of minds
...
I lost a lot of me
To be enough for you
I deserve someone
Who makes me their
...
