Let me down easy

let me down easy

not with silence
settling like dust
on everything we built
not with a door
closing so softly
I mistake it
for the wind

if you have to leave
leave like evening
slow enough
for the light to understand

tell me the truth
before it hardens
into stories
i’ll spend years
trying to untangle

I can survive
the clean edge
of honesty
it’s the dull blade
of maybe
the weight of almost
the unanswered room
that keeps drawing blood

so if my name
has grown too heavy
set it down

look at me
long enough
to remember
I was once
your favorite place
to arrive

then go

I won’t ask
the horizon
to turn around

  1. Anyone who would leave you is either insane, or they are just not thinking straight in that moment. You really are the complete package as a woman. You’re so hard working, gifted, kind, and embody the essence of beauty in every possible way imaginable. Don’t you dare ever forget you are a Queen! 👸🏻 Or I’ll have to kick your ass! 😉😂
