content warnings: unhealthy relationship dynamics as expected of late teiko-era aokuro
24 lines



i want to be enough,
please let me be enough,
let me be what you need.

hold me, bruise me, love me,
please let me take it all,
let me learn it all:

the shape of your heart
the cant of your hips
the grip of your hands.

you don't know how to lose—
is that why you hold so tight?
fingers tight enough to bruise,

you don't know how to lose—
is that why you kiss so hard?
lips searching, wanting, seeking,

on the court, you are quicksilver,
you are power and grace and joy and light.
you are quicksilver, but did you ever learn to be human?

did you ever learn what it was to lose?
please don't let me be the first lesson.
don't let yourself fall like this.

(it will hurt, i know, but i'm not going anywhere.
not yet, not yet not unless—
unless you lose sight of this.)
