Some days I wake up and all I feel are the fractures in the flesh that covers the only me I’ve ever known.
TYLER KNOTT GREGSONSome days I wake up and all I feel are the fractures in the flesh that covers the only me I’ve ever known.
TYLER KNOTT GREGSONI am made from the creaking beams and rusted nails of a lonely vessel on a lonely sea. I am covered and coated, dusted with old salt water and the frail residue of moonlight.
TYLER KNOTT GREGSONWherever I am, whatever I am doing, you are in it all.
TYLER KNOTT GREGSONIt is hard to not feel broken when it is always quiet enough to hear your pieces rattle.
TYLER KNOTT GREGSONDo broken pianos play broken songs? Do they have busted melodies for busted hearts? Is there a song living inside it that’s waiting to get out? Her keys are shattered and her notes long since silent but I can still hear her song. Just listen, just listen.
TYLER KNOTT GREGSONI would love to say that you make me weak in the knees but to be quite upfront and completely truthful you make my body forget it has knees at all.
TYLER KNOTT GREGSONYou have never had to steal my breath, or take it away, somehow you have always managed to convince me to hand it over freely.
TYLER KNOTT GREGSONOh what we see when we finally stop looking.
TYLER KNOTT GREGSONIf flowers can grow through blankets of melting snow, there is hope for me too.
TYLER KNOTT GREGSONSometimes the only way to catch your breath is to lose it completely.
TYLER KNOTT GREGSONI care not about lost firsts, but I will fight, knuckles bloody and teeth sharpened, for your lasts.
TYLER KNOTT GREGSONWe too can rise up, We too can float like lanterns To a better place.
TYLER KNOTT GREGSONDon’t ever tell me I’m broken if you will not be the glue, and please don’t point out the fractures if that’s all you’re allowed to do.
TYLER KNOTT GREGSONI am a sinking ship made of unsinkable parts.
TYLER KNOTT GREGSONJust keep waking up, dragging yourself out of bed. It will get better.
TYLER KNOTT GREGSONI am so tired of waking to the blank canvas of morning and realizing it won’t be painted with you.
