Deep brown melanin
I adore the skin you’re in
When you stand for love

Deep brown melanin
I adore the skin you’re in
When you stand for love

I’m ok for now
Been fighting off these feelings
For no real reason 
She wanted to feel
Loved and deeply understood
Not necessary

Once the glitter fades
And summer turns to winter
Will our love still shine?


Tetris and oatmeal
Almond milk and cinnamon
Wrapped in bed with you

Peeled back my skin to
See if I could fit into
Your expectations

I was on fire
Burning for you to aboard
This volcanic ride

You make me feel like
A bird with no wings but sings
Like it’s my last breath
He hid behind smiles
As if they shielded him from
Being truly seen
