i make a fat joke about myself and
"i don't ever wanna hear you say something like that again," he says
he asks if i am unclear as to why
and i want to ask
if he is unclear as to why
i made it in the first place.

i think part of me is still
waiting for prince charming
and it sickens me.

Having you near me
Close to me
I feel a comforting pressure
As you lean on me
I feel overjoyed
It startles me how good it makes me feel
Just to be near you.

I always saw myself
as a mere sunflower
in your world of roses
until the night we were lying in your basement
and you quietly admitted
you thought
sunflowers
were the most beautiful flower of them all

now I'm your sunflower
in a world of roses

you shine so bright
that the weeds in my chest
grew towards you
and bloomed
into flowers
that couldn't be called
anything other than
love
