I remember the Sunday, and in your cold car,
We did all we could to look at the stars.
Without freezing our hands
And without getting out to stand,
We tried our best, and we were earnest,
But the stars were out of our reach.

There was once a time when I believed that I must do all I can to keep you.
But that was before I realized you didn't show me the real you.
So I asked, and I pleaded,
Please be who you really are.
And the day you did that,
Your eyes became the stars.

I'll lump you in with all the good ones and the bad ones,
The cute and the ugly
And the moons and the suns.
I'll lump you in with all my dreams and fears,
My woes and my joys
And my calmness and unrest.

I know you'll make me sick but you will also cure me,
And I know that you're bad, but you're also good for me.
I know that you might get sad, but I will make you happy,
I know that I'll get mad but I hope you can forgive me.

One word,
A thousand diagnoses,
And every fear in the dark world.

But every possibility,
A thousand ways to help,
And one truth:

We will find a way.
For Her Sun
insomniatrical Nov 2017
She is a deep ocean blue in a world of desert beige,
For the water always makes the sand look better.
She is a wonderful black cat, purring her way across the room,
Her pads touching the floor with every delicate step.
Her claws are sharp,
But only if she shows them to you.
And her magick is strong,
Because she believes.
She will lead you through the thicket,
Slinking long through the bushes,
And showing you to a wonderful clearing,
Alight with creatures and enchantment alike.
Her aura swirls about her, golden and bright,
But she is humble, she is kind, she is wise.
She is strong, but she will yield,

And as Lao Tzu has said,

"He does not show off, therefore he shines.
He does not justify himself, therefore he is revered.
He does not boast, therefore he is honored.
He does not praise himself, therefore he remains.
Because he opposes no one,
No one in the world can oppose him,"

There she is,
The strongest of any,
She who knows how to yield and overcome.

I remember wearing black nail polish with glittery blue tips.
I remember the feeling, the fear,
The terror in your eyes when I cried out,
When you knew that there was nothing that could be done to help.
How much pain, and my tears rained down,
Anger in your eyes at how helpless you felt.
To see me like that,
To think that there was nothing you could do,
When I finally felt myself ripping, tearing apart.

I trust you
With every fiber,
Every thread, of my being.
I trust you with my life,
I trust you with my words,
I trust you with my thoughts and all of my deliberate actions.
I trust that you do not lie
And only speak the truth.
That you will let me explore your every visage and face,
That I will meet all of your personalities.
I trust that you will tell me everything,
Every personal detail,
Be it something good, bad, or disgusting.
I trust that every aspect of my life will also be yours,
And that I will never go a day without you.
That I will always have you by my side,
And that you will never choose to leave me.
I trust that you will come to me with your problems, small and large,
Because your issues are mine and mine are yours.
Everything I own, you will own too.
And everything you do, I will do with you.
I hope that you trust me, in that I say,
I will always be here for you,
And I will never deceive you.
I will always be by your side,
And I will never leave you.
I will never depart from you
Until you elect to send me away,
Then and only then,
Will you and I be separated.

I need a short time away from you.
Maybe only two days, no talking.
As hard as it is to say,
And hard it may be to admit,
But my day starts and ends with you.
Because of this, I get nothing done.
Not even missing assignments.
