head // heart

processing everything with my head
because my heart has been out of order

i saw her open so briefly
when she felt your presence 
was capable 
of enveloping me
gently, silently

i felt that you could hold
all of me 
without even trying 
you would lift me up

i knew in an instant 
i could rest in you 
without ever 
cutting off 
my own air supply.

that’s why my eyes went crossed 
when you said no
without even trying 
you broke me down
