i can't make you love me
and it pains me to admit
no matter how many times
i pleasure you
or touch you
it couldn't possibly help
i despise how obvious it is
that i am constantly savoring
your every kiss
memorizing your lips
and how they fit mine
just right
gazing into your eyes
until everything turns hazel
stroking your rough skin
and learning the landmarks
of your exterior surface
please just stay prisoner
in my bed
just wish i could look into
your mind
to know what you truly think
of me
and us
but how can i expect you
to love me
when i can't even
love myself
Can you teach me how to smoke,
At the indoor pool?
Cannabis and chlorine
On a night so cool.
I can ditch the white pills
Without crushing the moon,
If you can roll something up
Without killing the mood.
         What's left to prove
If it's just me and you?
I mean, you and I
Decide
If we have any rules.
We can feel, we can chill.
We can deal with the truth.
                   Cannabis and chlorine.
Fuse green with the blue.
Cannabis and chlorine.
A mixture of hues.
All you gotta do
Is make my lungs so confused.
Cannabis and chlorine,
When it's just me and you.
Can you teach me how to smoke
At the indoor pool?
From a dream I had.

He calls my body a canvas,
Tells me that it is beautiful.
That my blemishes are beautiful,
My hair that curls a little too much in the back is beautiful,
My scars are beautiful,
My acne is beautiful,
My Vitiligo is beautiful,
My stretch marks are beautiful.

He tells me these things,
And I'm scared to believe him;
The idea of showing him my whole body is
Terrifying.

But if there's one person in the world,
Who can look upon my body without disdain,
With light in his eyes,
It's him.

I'm so thankful.
How did I get so lucky?
