Third Wave

It is innately encoded in my aorta

I cannot forgive a sinner who provoked my heart

PURPOSEFULLY


Someone I softly informed of my wishes

To remain unbothered until healing was complete

Come with your humanness and we'll unpack your attachment 

But I'll take you at your word. 


I would love to be one of those girls

Who are gathered in a circle and bought into a seance

Where wisdom is bestowed

Training my mind into numbness

And my heart into stone


Never feeling, never hurting

I want to bask in the glory of you coming home at the end of the day

I want to be on my knees

Because you respected me enough to hide your secrets


I want the glue that keeps my lips sealed

The water that permanently blocks eardrums

Not hearing you creeping in
