…
a foundation was built beneath her
strong and steady
reliable and safe
and then she saw that the foundation
which held her up was not her own
and she desired to fly away
to see if she could create
a foundation of her own
but she found it wasn’t an easy flight
for the other foundation first must crumble
beneath her feet
…
suddenly she finds herself floating
lost without the ground she’s known for so long
watching the pillars fall
tears streaming their way down the walls
of a broken heart
a spirit crushed by the weight of her requests
a man changed by her inability
to speak her truth
…
all he wanted was a fuck yes
and all she could give him was
i don’t know
maybe
and not yet
…
