I aint done (Love so soft)

A poetic reflection

Sitting out back

Wallen hoodie

Has my back

In these frigid

Lows

Wind blows

My red hair

Headphones on

Shuffling my Playlist

Trying to be graceful

Patient

With what I know

About you

There are still ties you cant sever

And in holding back from doing so

You’ve entangled me

But am I about to be strangled by the ties

You've failed to sever

Or

Will you swaddle me like you did on the beach?
