it's the way we keep ourselves open.

how do we Not expect something
ugly&bitter fumbling&crushing
to make it's way in and scratch
us from the inside out. (we don't
always bleed on the outside, ya know)
and sometimes Love does become a
dirty word when rubbed the wrong way
used in incomplete sentences that
burn right through to the heart of
you. but it's all relative really
keeping ourselves open for anything
resembling something of a promise,
something to make dirty into
clean.
something that we can look back at
and say "it was worth it, That made
it All worth it."

it's the way we keep ourselves open.

(the way we Never learn
again&again)
