the fire in my heart
was started
by a match that wasn’t lit.

quiet
turn up the quiet
to see the light pass between rain drops
and let a past gentle breath,
silence the cry inside.

slow
where he ought to be often plagued him,
then he reminded himself that
slow
doesn’t always mean sad.
avp
imagination
don’t disturb my imagination,
it’s my way of saying
complicated things.
avp
sleeves
his dad said,
don’t wear your emotions on your sleeves.
so he thought it would help him feel better
if he put on a tank top.
avp
understand
while counting the cracks and flaws
in the concrete wall he built,
he tried to understand love.
avp
rust
once a milk carton kid
drenched in color,
he now paints walls
in rust and bone.
avp
sight
just the sight
of your shadow
stops my empty heart.
avp
blankets
while watching you sleep,
i heard your heartbeat speak softly to me
from under the sea of blankets.
avp
freedom
next to you
i don’t fear
the cost of freedom
