Stoplight

It's just the way
it tears
me apart
the way you just
break my heart
It's no matter
what words can say
what actions are
out to play

Imagining futures
ecstatic possible
scenarios
toughen me
heart pieces
hoping
echoing the
words spell out
for me to soak in
except my armor
didn't save me
but kept me numb

Grew a second
skin
resentments win
possibly
complicated files
insides count
stock in soul-feeding
improving
not hindering
positivity in the
word of being
lovingly
