Every Little Love Matters
"If you want something you’ve never had, then you’ve got to do something you’ve never done."
Don’t rationalize away
the truth of what you are.
You once spoke with conviction
and vibrance in your voice,
a flow of honesty,
a citizen of loyalty.
You have twisted yourself
around a barbed fence,
entangling your strengths,
weeping through the dirt
scrawled across your cheeks.
You throw words at walls
and signs and yourself,
sling them from your mouth
against brick and clay and
concrete, against the sky
and the limp skin beneath my ears.
