Oh body, just be kind to me
It will be summer
And I feel it in between my teeth
The spaces where I feel myself dying over
and over
A boy said he loved me
But he hates the way I cover my mouth after I laugh
Sometimes my loneliness pours out of me
I am my mother’s temper and my father’s sin
I live in the stories I heard as a little girl
When I was on fire and unafraid
I am not writing this for you
You’re the ocean
I’m the sky
And there will always be something in between us
Listen
You will be new again
It takes so little to want to die
You spent a week in the hospital
Because the drugs were staining your tongue
Soft slurring savior,
When you are suffocating at three am
Call me because I’ll be short of breath too
And I’d like to hear the air between us thinning
Tell me what the sky looks like where you are
I’m twelve minutes away
But you know I feel so far
Open my chest under a black coated night
Whisper
“There’s nothing there”
I’ll kiss you
