When your eyes are wide with life

jun 2025 · poem

I only love you when you’re high When you hold yourself together When you fill yourself up I only love you when you smile When your joy pops out When your eyes are wide with life I only love you when you’re present When I hear your inner silence When I feel your inner peace I don’t want to hear about your depression Your numbness Your overwhelm I don’t want to hear your excuses Or see your awkward silence Not like your normal self I don’t want to see you go round in circles Cause frankly It drives me nuts You should know better by now Shouldn’t you be better by now? It’s better you know it now Cause if you don’t know it And you don’t show it You shame it And if I shame you I’m shaming myself Because I am you
