lace

hello! i admittedly am in maths class right now but i’ve been told to do other work because i finished a test! obviously i decided to spend my time writing the words i’ve been struggling to ignore.

i’ve been exceptionally well recently.

song: scared of love - we are trees

lace covers my eyes

but does not shield my vision.

i am blinded by something entirely

within myself,

as i come to terms with holding

my own hand.

lace covers my body,

but does not change my smile.

i hand out love

like flowers

and meet myself in the

middle;

between silence and a warm shower.

streetlights are achingly orange

some days,

but the yellow hues

find me too,

find me in my bedroom

and filter through my

skylight.

lace covers

the windows of my bedroom

and i rip my curtains down.

i make a dress out of them and

lie in it on my bed,

moonlight tangling my hair

and creeping up my legs.

the sun doesn’t shine so often,

but it’s warmth finds me,

seeks me and

finds me under my duvet.
