Black and White II

White

-

I am strong

enough to let you go. I plant rose bulbs in my skin

and hope they’ll help me feel beautiful again

I close the borders on my body because
I fucking deserve better
than a man who fell in love with my tits

I will no longer wait for you
to say something that will touch me deeper
than your probing fingertip inside me

I fall asleep to my own heartbeat
and encourage it to grow even again.
Now, all I want is for you to break

the way I broke myself in half for you,
so you could know how it feels
to be too "black and white"
