The sorrow,
the grace, the humor
Your eyes were a silent cry
despite the smile on your lips. You held a smile, even as you fell apart like a
wineglass in slow motion. In that quiet sorrow, I saw your heart kneeling in
prayer. You bleed, yes, but you still carry the devil so gracefully.
I, however, speak to him like
we’re both in on a joke, while sipping on a chilled glass of orange juice, as
my little sister casually munches on ice cubes.
Companionship
without ownership
Love is not a rescue mission.
Saving is ego’s way of pretending it’s a lifeguard,
because it sees someone as broken.
We may bend, my darling,
but we never break.
Saving is ego.
Seeing is loving without editing.
One believes,
"You're incomplete without me."
The other whispers,
"You are not alone, my friend."
One is a cage
dressed as care.
The other is an altar that says,
"Whether you come or go, your freedom remains."
