feelings are not an essay
not metaphors or imagery
grammar doesn't matter to them
I taste lost
insecurities betray me
they swallow me whole
not sorry for me
love me
in all fake circumstance
I hurt
seeps into toes
leaks from swollen red eyes
reality if not words won't speak
But I feel it
Eager for pursuit
love within fear
don't tell me what it should be
what I could be
never asked for words
if eyes asked
they lied
they seek approval
they betray me for it
mistake me for it
mistake me as a welcome mat
for judgment
and inquisition
lips never tell
if you keep asking
but if you never ask
eyes will tell the story
if you aren't looking
souls will cry
not for approval
but for sad nakedness
bare and raw
emotion won't be in these words
but my heart
and my eager love
not metaphors or imagery
grammar doesn't matter to them
I taste lost
insecurities betray me
they swallow me whole
not sorry for me
love me
in all fake circumstance
I hurt
seeps into toes
leaks from swollen red eyes
reality if not words won't speak
But I feel it
Eager for pursuit
love within fear
don't tell me what it should be
what I could be
never asked for words
if eyes asked
they lied
they seek approval
they betray me for it
mistake me for it
mistake me as a welcome mat
for judgment
and inquisition
lips never tell
if you keep asking
but if you never ask
eyes will tell the story
if you aren't looking
souls will cry
not for approval
but for sad nakedness
bare and raw
emotion won't be in these words
but my heart
and my eager love
