it's okay to let your soul be too heavy
you don't have to do anything but hold it
you do not have to smile
you do not have to summon strength for the sake of others
your only job is to breathe and be gentle to your aching heart

the sky and i woke up feeling a little too heavy this morning
so we talked,
and agreed to handle it the same way
the sky and i agreed that sometimes all you need is to turn the heaviness to little drops and let them fall

someday i will give every poem i ever wrote about you
back to you
because i will no longer need them

he said something about a spark and my lack of one
so i set myself on fire in the hopes of being bright enough for him to see
i let myself burn to ashes trying to keep him warm
forget it
let him freeze
