You are the Sun and the Moon to me,
The tallest tree,
The stars and the sea,
The highest mountain,
The whitest beach,
The deepest valley,
The sweetest dream,
The tastiest confection,
The finest wine,
My best friend.
So hot, you burn me, so airless and frigid, I freeze,
So high, you’re beyond my grasp,
Too far away to ever reach, so vast and deep, I’d drown if immersed,
Impossible to surmount alone,
There, blinded by the glare, dehydrated by the salty air, burnt by the brutal sun,
Where I’m forever in the shadows,
Which will forever be unreal,
Which rots my teeth and shocks my blood,
Which I can’t afford,
Who turned their back.
