“If you think I won’t tie you up and lock you in my bedroom before I let you step outside in this weather, then you don’t know me at all.”
“dear empathy,
please stop telling me
that it’s okay when they hurt me
stop allowing me to accept
the knife you see in their side
is a reasonable excuse
for them to put two in mine
please stop introducing me to their demons
i don’t want to shake hands
with the reasons
they can’t seem to stay
please stop waving a white flag
and making me pity their anger
and make peace with their madness”

“they told me my job description but i think i’ve got it wrong. they said i was supposed to man the lighthouse and save lost ships from going down.
but every time i saw the ships i forgot about the light. i dove headfirst into the sea and swam to save their life.
i drowned us both in the process; the ships never found the shore. i ended up helping less when i meant to be helping more.
i think when they told me to save people with my light, i mistook their words and tried to save people with my life.
i know i should have turned the light on, i know i should have taken their advice, but i don’t know what love is if it is not sacrifice.”
