i knew this would be hard to begin with but now it seems i'm tripping over roots that spring from the ground, growing thicker with every step. i've tried to skip, but they sprout more closely together. the ground is uneven; i fall into a search for just one smile.
but it's not you that causes this descension. it's not your words that invoke the tears to fall, not the thought of your kiss that brings the sky crashing down. it's their inability to make sense, their incapacity to fathom this disgusting truth within me. (they couldn't ask, couldn't try to fix it. i can't even fix it myself. but together, we could.)
and i just want those arms... just your arms. that's where the hope lies; it's right where i left it.
[it's not out of my system, but i'm getting there.]"
