Diacos Love

U should know better

And if you don’t know better,
You should at least know love
‘Cus anyone who loves their child would have never said something so cruel.

U should know better,
As you depend on me to.

I loved you so much

I really did
But I don’t if we can exist where we both have confidence,
And love from other people,
As we are best friends in the mud of insecurity,
Always laughing at eachother.

how to stay warm in the cold

Curls your toes
And bite with jaw while
Squeezing yo’ eyeballs and
That tendon in between the nose, forehead, and eye.

See with your bellybutton as you breathe,
Imagine, your brain is a warrior with a spear
Stabbing cool mists with the work of the diaphragm’s
:Tounge,Pectorals,Guts, etc.
