this one; is for you
yes you, listening to this
reading this
you know me better than most,
passerby will label;
boy girl man fag straight short quiet
but you have seen me
heard me
opened the door i led you to
and the key are the lines that you dotted.
thank you
for hearing me
reading the words that build up
in my blood and my lips
and that kiss was for you
the words that find me when people label me
the restraint felt then to find the paper now
to tell you, you’re not alone
you have me
and i have you
and we’re listening
reading together
drafting lines to sew up this seem when the world decided
to cut us open
our words will heal those who bled
and will remind those who cut
that we are not alone
thank you for listening
thank you for reading.
