do you remember
when you let yourself feel?
I do
you lost your keys in the sea
meanwhile
I lost myself in you
a hand grenade heart
all-in
your favorite addiction
a shark in the water
stone cold bluff
I’m blood spilling over
three white orchids
five cigarette butts
surrender to your knees
don’t worry
you can’t always
kiss away cruelty
surrender to your needs
tenderly
here is where
I feel
my gentle grace
here is where
I feel
your weight
