Bottle

I bottled my thoughts

collecting them one by one

each trouble

each self-judgement

each whisper of love

stuffed inside.


then you came

you grew close to me and 

you found my bottle on 

my back shelf.


I resisted

scratching and clawing

but you unscrewed the cap.


I collapsed .

you finally released me 

from all I kept hidden.


we smashed the bottle.


together
