Kitchen Table

Lay my love out on the kitchen table dine on sweet tastes of compersion choose to ignore the empty seats of those who couldn’t stay (or wouldn’t) focus instead on the ones who stuck around

From the outside in maybe I seem lost indecisive and afraid but tell me how could I accept these gifts if I didn’t know I deserved them tell me would I still be here without this heart crammed full Feast on the feeling of self-made family let the rusted shackles wilt and crumble If you want a taste we’ll make some room feed you bite-size morsels to ease you in don’t you dare tell us to starve for the sake of your own guilty conscience

Nothing tastes as good as community feels

I will gorge whether eyes avert or not Shame can’t be felt if the act goes unseen but my love is a feeling that won’t be ignored
