And she was a city
borne off massacres
stuck on the idea that
only love could heal her.

Imagine.
You.
Young in love.
Nothing to lose
but your heart.
That's how tragedies start.

What if
I promise
to find you
in each dimension
and love you the same,
would you still tell me
I'm not enough?

rub sunshine in your heart
bathe your soul in the ocean
sing songs for your bones
feed the moon to your eyes

That's how flowers bloom.

Wearing her

Every once
in a while
I would take
off my body
and wear her.
I never looked better.

And love someone
only until
you have to go to war
with your own self.

Do you
DO YOU
also look at
the petals of flowers
fall one by one
and think
that's how
love leaves?
