Who will give us permission to ask for the things we believe we are unworthy of?

Dues and all the ways I’ve paid them
If longing were a mountain
You are the one on which I die
Prettier Than a Broken Heart
If I could write to you of sorrow, if I could explain this devastation,
I’d use words like utterly, and calamity, and grief.
But the words refuse my bidding, choosing to cloak themselves in darkness and half formed thoughts instead.
They shuffle off their course like drunken sailors, lose their way somewhere between half-hearted and dejected.
With quivering chins and sagging limbs, I’ve not the strength to make them dance
to fool a broken heart into being
prettier than it ever is.
