Eclipse (Ashley) - Braids

At my core, I feel good

My essence is assured, but there’s so many layers to get there

So much built up

So many left their mark on me

The non-literal wound of our heart broken

I sat on the side of a quarry

As the moon came to hug the Sun

An abusive lover, casting shadows

As it reaches in for a kiss

What eclipses me?

In my life?

In my life?

I asked inside our homes turned up

What diverges me from my highest potential

Highest preparedness

Ha ha!

Myself

What eclipses me?

In my life?

In my life?

Myself, at the age of twenty-seven

Questioning that the universe doesn’t trust me

Have a plan for me

Like we can find ourselves ourself

It’s in the tall grass

It’s in their long hair

In our dark eyes

Hologram nails

The love of two

Women

My best friend

Ashley

Ashley

Ashley

Ashley

Ashley

Ashley

Ashley

What eclipses me?

In my life?

In my life?

What eclipses me?

In my life?
