Landmines
by Loolwa Khazzoom • December 13, 2015 • Songs
There are holes
In your foundation
That leak all over our friendship
And contaminate my life
Leaving me struggling
Shrinking
Always stepping around your landmines
In the name of radical acceptance
In the name of forgiveness
In the interest of receiving the good
That feeds my soul
But my soul is perpetually
On guard with you
To the point
I no longer feel authentic
And I would lack integrity
Were I to continue
You did this to us
