With inspo from Sappho
Don’t waste one line
wasn’t it you that said:
you’d ‘take any iteration of my voice’
an echo-chambered, hollow howl.
a whispered feather landing on your shoulder.
a scream so loud it breaks the entire universe.
wasn’t it you that said
‘I’ll write you a magic spell’
as your hands did all of the talking
in between choking and praying,
while i closed my eyes and waited to turn to smoke.
wasn’t it you that said
‘we’re all just halves of ourselves
wandering in chaos looking for someone else’
when all I could imagine was the entirety
of who I am looking for solitude, in perpetuity.
wasn’t it you that said
‘love was the loosener of limbs’
untangling threads,
unfolding layers,
while I constantly tie myself back up.
double knot.
In The Way
