Air

feeling like it’s worth it has gotten harder each of my lines feels muddled love is sacrifice my father says my father loved a woman who hit him and his children i recognize that i can find a love that i deserve it exists outside of you, elsewhere in the world i feel such a deep grief for us, for what we’ve become together i want it to live i want to help it breathe my lungs are swollen and bruised
