freedom is nice the ability to do what i want when i want to, without having to confer, consider, compromise or quarrel i like being alone to choose what i eat and watch and read, i like to do things on my own terms but then i think of your hands and the way your fingers fit in mine and wrapped together like puzzle pieces, we were skin twins, we couldn’t tell where you end and i begin now look at us, drowning in the mess we made, trying to swim off in different directions away from that safe harbor, learning the secret: nothing about this was ever safe, rescue was never coming
