Matt Pryor - Kinda Go To Pieces

look, I don’t know how to see myself in the mirror without windshield cracks creeping in the corners of my eyes, but late at night, sometimes I open the blinds and lay in the light of your touch. you are a million (okay, maybe less) miles away and I want you a thousand (okay, maybe more) times a day, but I mostly only get you at night; in the dark; in the late, low-lit hours where shadows fit me better that my best black dress; when my hair is a mess and my makeup is no longer fresh, but you see me.

everyone else gets the sweetness and light of my middays, only knows me wrapping words in circles around my waist to cinch it tight, and I’m thinner this way, but you see me in the dark, when I’m too heavy to hide anymore. you know the color of my eyes when the low of the lights dances long into the night. you know the creaking sound of my cracking open. you know the quiet of my unbroken gaze, and you see me, watching you. I am learning how to wait.

did you know that I’m not patient? did you know that I’m not kind? of course you do. you’ve seen the harder corners of my mind, and you still call me beautiful; pretty; perfect, but I am just the moon, reflecting you, every night when the buttons unbutton and the ties untie and the beds unmake themselves under two sets of watchful eyes. I can’t look into the mirror without seeing spiderwebs scrawled across my naked thighs, but you see me, without cracks; in the shadows of my light.
