He loved her.

He didn’t love her for her body.

He loved her for the way she belted out the wrong lyrics while blasting music driving down the highway.

He loved her for the way her eyes brightened like stars on a cloudless night when she saw him.

He loved her for the way she twirled around in her pretty blue dress, barefoot on the soft grass.

He loved her for the way she fumbled over the piano keys, creating a barely recognizable melody.

He loved her for the way she woke up on an early morning, all grumpy and confused, wrapped up tight in a blanket.

He loved her for the way she splashes around in the ocean, kicking the water at him and motioning for him to join her.

He loved her for the way she loved him.

He didn’t love her for her body.

He loved her for her careless, sloppy soul.

i'm stuck between a rock and a hard place:
part of me wants to be dead
part of me wants to be with you
maybe we should die together, romeo and juliet as ever
i'm stuck between a rock and a hard place:
part of me wants to be bad,
to hear hell calling my name in the wind rustling my hair
part of me wants to be good,
to hear god welcoming me through the gates when you sing
i'm stuck between a rock and a hard place:
part of me wants to be selfish and take care of myself
love myself
respect myself
part of me wants to send my friends to heaven and support them
**** for them
help them
i'm stuck between a rock and a hard place:
heaven or hell
house or home
hated or hateful
so i consult my oracle, my trembling hands and cold lips,
and i come to a conclusion:
me: never does work, just draws on my knee and writes poetry
