take from me
all you want -

use me
as you need.

i wont question
your love for me -

as long as i feel wanted
as long as i feel needed.

the cloth you cut for me
doesnt quite
hug my curves

"am i lacking?"

the cloth you cut for me
is a tad
too tight

"am i too much?"

i will take apart
and remake myself -

reshape myself
to fit your standards;
to fit your love -

if it means you will
notice me -
if it means you will
look at me.

the blood in my veins
no longer pumps
for me.

my heart beats to
the rhythm
of others;

so they wont feel alone -

so i dont feel alone.

we are all
searching
for a safe place
to call home.

a place that is comfortable -
a place that is warm.

but people
are not places.

and people
are not homes.

"Sure, I'm afraid of what might lead to my death: car accidents, plane crashes, drowning. But, I'm more afraid of what won't kill me: people dying, people leaving, the silences that seem to never end. It's the idea of having to live through something that scares me, not the end itself."

- OB.
