people have been eating my words
and there is not enough
left for me.
i’m hungry.
i want to tell the page
all the things
but my soul is drained
and dry
because I have been
giving it away
in drops and
hugs and
time.
why does everyone want something from me?
i just want to
sit
in the stillness of the night
knees to my chest
counting the stars
talking to the wind
and breathing
without a million hands
grasping my throat.
why does giving myself mean
losing myself?
i do not have anything to give you.
can i have my words back?
