i've had
29
crushes.
the problem is
almost
none
were
reciprocated.
recently
i've developed
another
on one of my
friends,
forbidden.
to her
kissing
isn't a big
deal
to me
it is.
she's been in
long term
relationships
i haven't.
she doesn't
want one
right now
i do.
so i need
to hide
my feelings
and act like
everything fine
when
it isn't.
crush #30
unreciprocated
yet
again.
the princess wore her crown
but it felt heavy like iron pressing on her chest
she was told she was beautiful every day
but the words passed through her like wind over glass
she smiled for others
they speak of love as if it is a language written into the marrow of existence
a sacred inevitability stitched into breath and bone
you will feel it one day they promise
a filament of silver breath stretches beneath my feet
thin as a whispered promise and just as easy to lose
keep going you must not look down
but what if down is the only truth and up is the illusion i cling to
