He smiles.
His future is thought out.
His favorite color is yellow.
He can speak Spanish.

I frown.
My future is a mystery.
My favorite color is black.
I speak only English.

He's talented. I'm worthless.
He's a charmer. I'm a repellent.
He's hardworking. I'm spoiled.
He cherishes. I push away.

Can our opposites really attract?
Maybe in one way.
Fore he is the light that brightens my darkness.
But I shall not be the darkness that destroys
his light.

up
there's the sun,
and all the stars,
and he is the moon
who reflects
the light to me
when the dark
comes around
and i can't see

without the sun,
the moon would
not be shining
so the moon
chases the sun
continuously

then he tells me,
"isn't she lovely?"

somewhere deep
inside of me,
i desperately wish
he was talking
about me

but my light can
never be as bright
as hers

she is the sun
that lights him up

and i am just
a mere human
who can see
the beauty
of the universe
whenever i look
up

i see the moon
with all its stars,

all of the bright,
little things

along with all
of the flaws on
its surface

but i just can't
explain why
he looks so
beautiful, so
perfect
in my eyes

your universe
might include
the galaxies,
the planets,
asteroids,
meteoroids,
and comets

but my universe
is when i can
see all the
constellations,
hear all of the
rustling trees
and still feel
the same thing
in my heart
whenever i look

up

and imagine
that he is
holding me
in his arms
because i can only imagine.

••••••••••••You exist in metaphors,

•••••••••••••••••You give me life
••••••••••••••and take my breath
•••••••••••away altogether.
•••••••••You hold the key
to my erratic emotional lever.
•••••••••••You fill me full
••••••••••but empty me out
••••••••••••simultaneously.
••••You make me want to be
•••••••••••someone else
••••••••as well as being me.
••••••Paradoxes of the heart
•••they can never be quelled.

•••••This is how I know

•••••••••••••I'm truly,

I play back certain memories
Like movies in my head
To remind me of the times
When I felt alive and not so dead
