I accepted all of you – except for the vital part, that couldn’t accept all of me.
ALMA-MAY NOAI accepted all of you – except for the vital part, that couldn’t accept all of me.
ALMA-MAY NOAAnd still, she longs for love, when all she knows of it, is how much it scars.
ALMA-MAY NOAAnd I’m bruised but never broken.
ALMA-MAY NOAI want to lay down spread out and be the one to fill all the spaces empty – and occupied by her.
ALMA-MAY NOABroken wings may be grounded now, but they will taste freedom again.
ALMA-MAY NOATo be looked at and not found wanting —how beautiful to be enough.
ALMA-MAY NOAMy skin holds echoes of you; in every line, you used to trace and empty space you used to fill.
ALMA-MAY NOAThis heaviness inside my bones tells me, I still carry the weight of loving you.
ALMA-MAY NOAI lost myself willfully in half-forgotten madness, futilely for in the throes, I still remember you.
ALMA-MAY NOAThe light of your love touches me in the hidden depths of my lonely soul. And I know beyond a single doubt, I am safe within your hold.
ALMA-MAY NOAWanting you has been a thirst I have not been able to quench.
ALMA-MAY NOAAll the scars I hide fearfully, you see; counting them carefully with your lips, and telling me they are beautiful.
ALMA-MAY NOAI breathe out light pleasing, soft, and warm – I’m still learning to breathe out fire.
ALMA-MAY NOATo be the water that engulfs your skin, oh, let me be the sea you drown in.
ALMA-MAY NOAHow is it that I can drink from your lips and still crave? More and more, and even more of you.
ALMA-MAY NOAYou were consumed in running away from yourself, and I was just another way for you to get lost.
ALMA-MAY NOA
