A little too much.
The day started off like any other day,
06:00 a.m., the sun was already peaking
in through the windows in our room.
Neither of us
wanted to wake up,
so we laid down and faced the ceiling
and got lost in our thoughts.
Minds wandered around
as the loud silence
filled the room, each one of us
thinking about how we refuse
to let out to one another,
how do we stop ourselves
time and again from stripping our emotions naked
to let each other in
and create a space safe enough for us
to crawl into every time
the outside world overwhelms us.
We ask ourselves plenty of questions,
Creating room for doubt
and allowing it to consume us,
all in the name of fearing asking a little too much
from a person who wouldn’t mind moving mountains
to have us safe and secured.
