nine months i spent wrapped up in you
you cushioned me from damage and pain
a fragile package you delivered on the nineteenth
which you protected again and again
as i grew, i liked to press your belly,
push your buttons, pop your bubbles
i ran from you, blocking my ears from your words
but your arms are still wide when i need cuddles
i expanded and grew, but your size still stayed the same
you started to squeeze
i couldn’t breathe
and i needed to get out of you
but i have learnt that
even when your bubbles have no more air
and you can’t soften my falls
you still refuse to stop wrapping around me and
i will feel your absence when you’re not there at all
but almost all your air has escaped
and i have enough glue to hold myself together
perhaps its time for me to wrap around you
and soften your landings in stormy weather
