we let youth covered up ourselves in vines, tangling in complicated breaths and heartbreaks beating simultaneously.
we make a home out of everything / night city lights / a pair of arms / your eyes beneath my laughter line / the sound your soul makes minutes before the sunrise / out of nothing.
we grew monsters in our lungs and called it love / called it your laugh resonance down to my collarbone to the inside of my stomach / called it slipping through the thin ice and still speeding, speeding, speeding.
we teach our heart how to be brave / how to sew itself new / how to let go / how to hold on / how to not drown in these waves of overwhelming feelings / how to befriend our demons / and not let it consume us.
