Dresses

I wore dresses to school
The lacy kind
Flowy and floral kind
Twirling when you spin kind
Until I came home crying
Boys were lifting them up
Teasing and laughing  
Being unkind
I stopped wearing dresses 

Slippery

Hold me
Like you're scared I'll fall
Between the cracks of the floorboards
If I slip from your fingers

Starved

All of the self-actualization in the world
won't make me any less touch-starved

I Don't Want It Otherwise

If you can't

Set my soul afire
Look at me as the rarest gem
Overflow with every kiss
Meet my intensity
Chisel through my walls
Show that you'll stay

Keep your hands off my heart

Grace

I'm trying my best
To let grace settle around me
Still as it floats down
Feather weight forgiveness
Easily disturbed by
My constant shifting

AA

When love feels like
Addiction
Loneliness feels like
Sobriety

Wisteria

Loneliness creeps in like vines
Wrapping around me in wistful tendrils
Sleepy afternoons of laying in a lover's arms
Seem like another lifetime
