the sky sobbed
for us
my love
to cleanse the earth below

flowers bloomed
where weeds once stood
and the
moon
lay with the
sun

stars plummeted to earth
for us
my love
they granted wishes below

your voice
replaced the sounds of my
broken heart
and the earth stood still

i know you felt it too.

i howled at the moon
a
million
times
before i let you touch me

i groveled before myself
bent
over
backwards
in agony
before you even looked in my
pale blue eyes

i learnt that the most powerful thing a woman can be is
herself
that the most powerful thing she can do is
love herself

i became the most powerful woman
doing the most powerful things
before i allowed you to
call me yours
