somewhere along the lines
my heart got so deprived
that i fell in love with
every bit of affection
i could get my hands on

you were lovely
and i was lonely

and you fell in love with my voice
but not my mouth
fell in love with my words,
but not my palms.

and no matter
how hard i try
i don't know how to turn
my garden of a body
into flowers.
edited. this is too real right now.
it seems to keep happening to me.

I feel like lots of people feel this, actually. People grasp desperately at love, whether or not they can truly return the other person's feelings.
