he twirls my legs
between his fingers
i question anxiety
a shaken personality
he words his fears
and throws them at me
a broken being
my heart feels unease
i rock with a sadness
finding rocks where love lies
beating with hesitation
i stand at my walls
looking out but bowing
before saying hello
i wade in a daze
tears where they sang
i swallow my gut
the coldness hurts
the ice beneath his nails
leaves scars upon my back
it hurts to breathe, i said
i’ll always love you, he said
we extend with an essence
scaring our knees
stepping on toes
a blood bath we never thought
could stream
