The Best Kind Of Book
Folder:
2019 is one I can choose
like a kickstart,
no warning
don’t need to try too hard
to hurt myself,
just want to pick the path
these shoes want.
is one I can drown in
but remember
at the last moment
to come up for air.
is one I can finish
and fall,
breathing,
taking it in.
is one I don’t need
to build my heart for,
or a cage
around it.
is simple like
I never wrote it to be.
is one I don’t need to open
to feel the ending.
and still,
is one
I am not afraid of.
the monsters can come
and storm our ship.
I will stand.
is one I can breathe with
like we fit together
and if the walls come in
we will take turns
being the small one.
is one I can lie next to
and trace with my fingertips,
feel it under my skin
as we give and take life from each other.
You are a story I don’t want to forget.
