my hair a halo,
veins rivers wielding through,
my face a solar system,
skin like milk,
knees are the dunes,
eyes hold the ocean,
mouth contains the storm,
tongue hailing down,
purple under eye bags, same as winter clouds,
this is my body,
sometimes I wonder how

the blinds are shut,
the shutters closed,
nobody appears to be home,

but here we have a glow
from deep inside,
perhaps a glimmer of lost pride,

the light shone through the shutters,
a floodlight on the grass,
they were at home

oh at last!

at last!
I know who I am,
I'm honest, I'm loyal.
old music is my preference,
I'm a romantic and can't hold in my admiration
for what I believe to be good,
I read a lot,
I like action and horror,
silver jewelry only,
I love your naked body as much as your naked soul,
for you can have me now,
because I am now complete,
I've found the love for me
that has always been within.

my nails dig deep,
and nobody knows,
the secrets I keep,
the darkness grows.

oh how it kills,
to see someone else call you theirs
when you say you're mine,
how the wound opens
and the salt rubs in
when I see you call all the girls the same thing.

love is holding a bow,
and your partner holding the arrow,
seeing the force get stronger,
and trusting they won't let go.

love is giving your partner a pistol,
and watching them press it against your heart,
longing for them not to tighten around the trigger,
and blow.

I love you more,
I love you most,
I'll always love you,
I like to boast.
