Lift them up.

[ar1zona424]

Refrigerated Heart

ride the train.

the fast one.

run to nobody

by mitski

not because your alone

but because your independent

put your heart in the fridge

not because you’re ice cold,

but just cold to touch

if anything thats part of the appeal anyway

by keeping your heart in the fridge,

you can preserve it

make them believe that you put up with their bullshit

kill them with kindness, not love

minimise the myocardium damage

however maximise the amount of myocardia

that it can damage

then get the train home

armed with flowers,

the kind of kisses that leave scars

and your poor heart left defrosting in a box

the fast train,

so you can run back home

with your heart on your sleeve,

open the fridge

keep the heart bolted

don’t worry about it’s fragility

what’s not to love?

what goes on upstairs.

my heart’s an open door.

the house is overcrowded

though nobody tends to get upstairs

nor leave when they do manage to get there

but you

you’re the anomaly

your the reason upstairs tries to tell itself

that nobody really wants to be in the house.

Anymore.

gardening.

if it’s been proven

that your brain can grow

long, meandering flowers of knowledge

why would you limit yourself to soil

when you can have a bouquet?

why would you stop watering the pot?

97%

beneath the makeup and kind face we put on

lies

the tear stains of years of discrimination

misogyny, judgement, hatred

doors closed before opened,

97%.

when we begin to take the mask off, you dont listen to us

because men matter too

they didnt have to put the mask on in the first place.

-man, i feel like a woman.

paper hearts.

You never ripped me

not even close

but god did you try.

I was left crumpled by the end

and as much as i try to flatten myself out

Scars always stay

life lessons.

capitalism has taught me that

when i grow up

i shouldn’t be what i want

but rather make enough money

to buy what i want

oh

and survive

just friends.

i fell in love.

but they didn’t love me

so now neither do i

climbed back up.

mutual. just friends.

my friend who got sad because i’d rather stay that way

now, at least.

maybe they fell for me

maybe they fell as i desperately tried to climb back up

missed opportunity.

total fuck up.

another to write in the ‘first-time’ list

first accidental rejection.

first time breaking a heart.

silence.

as the world goes quiet

i stay awake

no deadlines to meet

expectations to exceed

chores to complete

alone

by myself

freedom

for myself

reconciliation.

the thing they don’t tell you

about reconnecting years later

is that

when the tears stopped running

and the love eventually left

the friendship inevitably followed

talking at me.

sometimes i can't understand why

you tell me the thoughts in my head and

expect them to be anywhere

close

sea shanty.

even when i feel like im drowning

in my own head

or the waves are just a little too strong

and i think i wont make it

you are the boat

that makes me hold on.

chess.

I was a pawn in your game

but you've played with the board

too many times

predictable

finally enough pieces gone,

So now you can’t play

and new pawns are uninterested

-infamy

window shopping.

it took till may

to hit

all at once

i weeped, watching the train

from my window

begging it to take me too

because the train goes to where i am used to

and only then would the bad dream go away
