To Love Her

To love Her is to listen‬
For that something
you’ll remember

So when Her days
start to feel like She’s done
And their cries drown you out
of Her sun

You’ll remember
That something
that listens‬
and loves‬ her

The World

It’s like the words
have been stolen out of our mouths

Twisted and turned
into muffled versions of ourselves
we can hardly recognize
anymore

It’s like the world
has been stolen out of our hands

Twisted and burned
into troubled versions of itself
we can hardly recognize
before

– E.M

More Time

And if that’s love to you
I would ask change to give us more
time
I would turn around in smile
and ask pain to give us more
time

– E.M

Awful

It’s awful
facing parts of yourself
you have no interest in knowing

I only hope you find comfort
in everything you’re fighting

There’s no empty handed
you take it how you want it

– E.M

A Little Longer

It spilled over
flooding everything
and anything I needed
I should have learned the first time
I’m just depending on temporary adjustments
to keep me together
a little longer

– E.M
