how should a person be
date: 2014-09-14 time: 23:08:29
if i am honest
i can plant my grief
like basil in the garden
take some time for myself
and cook with the growth
i keep secrets from myself
keep bouquets from lovers who
couldn't remember my name
swallow my spit before i speak
i am so shy
my legs are bruised
i don't know how i got from there to here
marks on my skin tell my family i love them
heart like a chest of drawers yelling 'fill me'
i've been alone for too long
