Lizzy Burnam 🐞

my phone knows the blue hollow 
under my eyes 
the freckle on the tip 
of my nose 
the shallow curve 
of my cheekbones
how my lips get thinner 
when I cry 
and the flush that rises 
with wine 
and whispered nothings 
and being seen 
and exercise 
my phone knows me 
when I’m running 
and it knows me when I sleep 
it knows me when I’m reading 
in the bath 
by candlelight 
by fluorescent light 
by sunlight too 
my phone could pick me 
out in a crowded room 
faster than my mom could 
probably
or my sisters
who haven’t seen my face
in months 
my phone stares at me
every day 
every goddamn day 
it looks me in the eye 
and says 
I’ve unlocked myself 
I unlock myself 
for you 
and only 
you
