អាណាព្យាបាល នៃ កាឡាក់ស៊ី នេះ

BREATHE EVERY PANICKED GASP OF AIR LIKE MY LUNGS NEEDED IT BECAUSE SINCE THE MOMENT I SAW YOUR SMILE, IT LAUNCHED ME INTO THE STARS, PAST THE MOON SO I'VE LEARNT TO EXIST WITHOUT THE OXYGEN THAT I SUPPOSEDLY NEEDED.

i don't need as many things as i thought i needed anymore.

i don't need to strap gold around my neck, or rest silver upon my wrists.

because the stars were melting the moment i saw your smile, with the sparkle you stole from the stars and not many things mattered.

the sun found a way to combust and i watched everything burst into flames except the memory of your searing touch.

and for some reason, the galaxy never adjusted to try to re-assemble.

ευσεβής πόθος

don't breathe your flames of fire on me.

don't look at me like i'm about to break.

because you have shoved upon me every silence,

pressed the state of wordlessness

down my throat

so that when my mouth

wraps itself around letters

the only words i can form

are yours ;

so that in some kind of

alternate dimension

i could pretend

i found a way to take care

of myself

all the years you were supposed

to do it

and when you come back

i'm hope you can see

that i've grown

that i'm pressed suits

and maybelline finishers

that i'm high heels

and tied hair

and maybe you'd see

and someday

you'd want me again,

momma.
