Repressed Screams
April 27, 2021
You’re a secret.
One that may have slipped out
On occasions.
A lingering glance,
Laughter a little too loud,
An unnecessary touch.
Your weight
Slammed into me,
Leaving behind only
Desperate desire
And the imprint of your collision.
Just a girl caging her butterflies,
My strings in your hands.
I don’t even try to take them back.
It’s all roses from above.
Floating won’t stop the thorns from poisoning your blood when you fall.
