I
fear my future
Only
because
Of
How
easy it was to convince myself
I
don’t have one.

What
is love?
Love
is when you’re missing some of your teeth
But
you’re not afraid to smile
Because
you know your friends will still love you
Even
though some of you is missing

You
kissed my face.
I
froze in place
With
nothing, but you on every thought
Forgetting
love, cannot be taught.
There
are only distractions to divert.
I
think of you and see hurt
As
my brain is trying to talk.
My
muscle memory forgot hot to walk
Perhaps
I need a crutch?
I
only feel your touch
