Not in sand hills or winding mountains
\nSharp turns like a voice that’s more like a knife
\nWinding I lose traction on the ice and I fear
\nDamage<\/p>\n
Tried to grow a new version of you
\nForgot where I planted – forgot to water
\nMaybe that’s why they show up
\nLacking<\/p>\n
Always brunette it’s noticeable
\nAversion to reflections
\nFind them less magnetic if they look
\nLike me<\/p>\n
Half-loved and quarter-trusted
\nPlease don’t blossom without me
\nDon’t wither – I wonder if Freud
\nHad a garden<\/p>\n
My fair skinned flowers how they wrap
\nEntangle without strangling
\nShe teaches me to breathe
\nI should love her more<\/p>\n
Still searching but this drive makes me sick
\nAlways kneeled behind a tree
\nWeakness showing empty stomach
\nYou’re not there<\/p>\n
My nostalgia tastes like vanilla coke
\nStraight to voicemail inbox full
\nI want to be full like that
\nBloated narcissism<\/p>\n
Set up to fail these frail nymphs
\nTest them and reject them
\nThe story needs to keep
\nRepeating<\/p>\n
I want to be proven wrong
\nCycle repeating like the CD stuck
\nRoads still icy and you
\nStill damaged<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
