I want

I want to fly away from you

From this thing you make me become

All twisted and gnarled and warped

I can’t remember myself when I’m with you

I want to be grounded in me

To sink into my flesh

My bones

To make a home amid the beat of my heart

I want to know what Novelty feels like

To step away from those dark paths in my brain

Weathered from the pacing back and forth

To emerge into untried territory

Can’t I be free

Free from this farce of maybe loving you

A push and a lot of pull

To get you to look my way

Let me go

Let me let myself go

Please
