shaking my head
at the numbers
of possibilities
ways and means

making us all look bad
God let me heal
as i lean up against
a brand new idea
that i’m all right
that my loves are perfect
big and bold
and of the light
perfect moments never come. what is love anyway…but that thing you can’t control. like waiting in line for my coffee. almost out the door. butterflies maybe. I don’t love you. I can’t love you. you snagged my heart some imperfect moment when i wasn’t looking. keep telling myself i don’t [...]
