I'm halfway between who I was & who I want to be.

The garden was combing her hair and putting on her earrings. The house was full of dancing creatures, not male, not female but both, two lovers in one body. The books downstairs were reciting their poetry to each other, rubbing together, whispering through their leather covers. Wine was flowing through the water pipes. You caught my heart in your hands like a leaping fish.

I remember awakening one morning and finding everything smeared with the color of forgotten love.

Am I too bitter to be yours?

But, I love you.

I’m surprised that you thought that I could open myself up so wholely to someone. I don’t know whether to thank you or question how well you know me or how well you tried to get to know me.
Opening up? Me? I can barely mumble words to my parents or my best friends. I only hear the mumblings of my own thoughts or the shrieking of them as they run their fingers down chalkboards while I reach out. Terror. Sirens. I can feel it. I quiver in their power, in their manipulation of me.
They understand how to pull my strings. They understand how to keep these ropes tethered.
I’m surprised that you thought I was so agile, so nimble, so relaxed.
Thank you for believing in the facade that everyone is looking through. I can’t stand their examination, but your kind eyes treat me well. They don’t pierce and the fingers only lightly trace the outside of the chalkboard as they always do in the presence of others.

I’m not healthy or happy at either, so it’s difficult to see any beauty. But thank you for the kind words <3
