souls merge

souls merge
you steal my calm
even when you’re
not here
i am
in you
forced to flex
higher than i have
ever gone
i am not there
yet you are
in me
merged
but separate
(souls)
(merge)
in more ways than one
mercy grinds me down
to nothing and everything
is fine
*
*

sometimes you gotta go back to move forward
