♔ ☾ ♕ drinking wine feeling fine

"

You’ll find people who will make you feel like opening up your chest and inviting them in is the one thing you need to do for them.
You’ll prepare a fancy dinner for them, as they sit on the rungs of your ribcage, staring straight at your inflating and deflating lungs.
They won’t speak, not a word. You’ll continue making them something savory from the bottom of your heart, scraping out every piece of you to serve to them on your finest silver platter.
You’ll watch them in anticipation as they swallow your love and desire whole. They still won’t speak, not a word.
They’ll crawl up your slippery lungs, tickle the corners of your heart unknowingly, climb up the rough walls of your throat, leaving you raw and a little cut up. Finally they’ll escape from the back of your mind, leaving a little shoe print to remind you that they once lived inside your vulnerabilities.
And you’ll wonder, how you let such a closed off human inside the parts they never allowed you to experience. You’ll wonder how, without knowing them, they were able to know you so well.
And you’ll cry a while too. Angry at yourself for opening yourself up to them like nothing. You’ll lock up for good, you promise this to yourself.

But someday, you’ll find people who open up to you the way you begin to open up to them. And instead of your openness being a home to another, your openness becomes a blanket for the both of you.
Reminding you that hope is not lost.

It never is.
