Everything is interconnected.
If I lived under this principle, letting you go would be impossible.
The perceived inadequacies and unveiling of one’s true colors.
Once vibrant and alive as the sweetest juices fell from my lips.
Replaced with chronic fatigue, now stagnant and somber.
Dried cracked lips burning from the desert sun.
A familiar landscape now foreign territory.
Untouchable, I replace my lingerie with body armor to shield my nakedness from your hollow eyes.
I vow to hold myself in the coldest of nights.
No more rejection or unintended pain.
Everything is interconnected.
your opening line really grabbed me “If I lived under this principle, letting you go would be impossible.”
then “Untouchable, I replace my lingerie with body armor to shield my nakedness from your hollow eyes.”
Thank you for sharing this piece it really hit me where I live at the moment.
