mourning the weeds

It’s fine. It’s for the best.

“Are you sure?”

Yeah, it’s fine. It wasn’t safe to let those weeds grow.

“But they were so pretty, all wild and free.”

Yeah, they were. But they were suffocating the flowers behind them.

“Flowers? What flowers? All I see is a dying plant.”

It grew flowers once. Back when the weeds weren’t so tall. They were pretty together.

“So why get rid of the weeds then?”

They were fine when they were small. But once they got big, they became an issue.

“Thorny ones, huh?”

Yeah, it didn’t matter when the thorns were so low down. But once they were tall, they cut me whenever I went to pick the flowers.

“What makes you think that bush will bloom again?”

I think it will. One day. But I don’t know. I might have let the weeds cover it for too long. It wasn’t getting any sunlight.

“But the weeds will grow back. You’ll have to keep cutting them over and over.”

I know.

“It would be easier just to let the weeds grow back. Prettier too. It’s kinda ugly as it is right now.”

…

But then I wouldn’t be giving the flowers a chance to bloom.

“Your loss then.”

Yeah.

My loss.

everything rearranged itself within my heart to fit you inside, small as a mustard seed.

then! oh, how you grew and filled me to the brim — i thought my heart didn’t have space for you, yet somehow you nestled into it like a perfect puzzle piece, just like you were once nestled in my womb.

i’ve lived and i’ve loved, but i’ve never felt a love like this, roaring like an ocean yet soft as the breeze, pulling me homewards even when i set my sails to new seas, everlasting, ever growing, delicate love.

you are my every eyelash wish and my first thought every morning,

and when you were born, so was i.

if I could I'd be a river,

wide and winding,

seeking, finding paths of least resistance

through the years that lie before you hewing hopes for you into the very stone -

my currents each, a prayer, a wish,

a hope and if,

if I could,

I'd be a whisper

a breath beneath beating wings,

I'd be a thermal rising, the very atmosphere consipring, carrying you, high as you would ever

dare to go -

the embrace of an endless wood, silence, peace

a blanket of budding leaves

to shield you should you choose to sleep,

and if I could,

if I could,

all the very very best of me

my aesthetics:

soft blankets and a combination of jazz music and lavender in the air. warm, dancing toes, and a quiet, unnoticed hum. vanilla chamomile tea, left forgotten on a side table. conversations with a nearby plant, and absentmindedly staring at the clouds.

ink-stained fingertips and hasty cursive scribbles. urgently pacing and searching for the right words. fiddling with a necklace. the murmur of headphones and head gently bopping. quiet whispers that no one can hear. sand in an hourglass slowly flowing.

a black hoodie and rustled sheets. a nap at 9am. lukewarm coffee. listening to traffic rushing by. blurry eyes and throbbing head. hot showers. the texture of fingerprints and the sound of cracked knuckles. water the plant and water yourself.

Hey, I hope you're well. I'm just passing by to let you know that I have been slowly answering your post: "deep asks that get uncomfortably personal". Ever since I started doing it, I am getting to know myself more and I wanna sincerely thank you for it. Thank you.

what a kind and thoughtful note. thank you for going out of your way to let me know how it impacted you. it continues to blow my mind how many people have resonated with a silly ask list that I put together on a whim, and how many have learned more about themselves in the process. 💕

too many words.

well if you think that’s too many words, you should hear how many thoughts i have.

and if you think those words were harsh, you should hear how i talk to myself.

and if you think i’m being too loud, you should hear the noise inside my head.

and if you think i’m too much, you should know i have to deal with myself too.

and if you think i cry too much, you should see the tears i shed when no one’s around.

and if you think my laugh’s too big, you should know it’s to hide the pain i feel.

and if you think i’m not trying hard enough, you should know i’ll never measure up.

and if you think i talk too much, you should know i leave most of my words unsaid.

hello my love. i’ve lost my words. i haven’t written in months. and the tightness in my chest is a chain that’s too heavy to carry. but of all the people in this world with words still remaining, i trust that you can keep mine safe until i’m strong enough to carry them again. i love you to the end of time. rae

The way you love me makes me forget about those who didn't.
