Life is letting yourSelf be
Life is letting your
Self be slowly extracted through
Migraines and birthdays and
Obligations and homemade quilts and
Hoping and cheese pizza and
Kisses on the cheek and
Paychecks and learning and
Love songs and the smell of home and
Falling asleep with someone you love
Until every ounce of
Vivacity in the blood stream is sucked
From your being and
You're dry.
