strength
by Emily Davidsonhe's got this obesession
with strength
saying things like
sleep
is weakness
kindness
is weakness
love
is weakness
his eyes are such a
shallow brown
like they were once deep but
got washed out
when he looks at me
i can see that his eyes
are light and lonely
and i can see that
he is the weakest of all
