Floodgates
Mama always said Don’t speak unless spoken to
Words suffocated by fear, I could never stack syllables tall enough To tell you all the things childhood suppressed
But you can only contain an emotional vessel For so long, Before the levy breaks

i could write a book
thepeoplecouldfly:
about how to make men that you were not looking for
not necessarily opposed to finding
but still somehow disinterested in
fall in love with you.
and how to love them back for months
possibly years
definitely long enough to celebrate a major holiday
at a time.
and,
how to (just as quickly)
lose them
to nothing more
than space
and time
and a lack of upkeep.
