We are beautiful,
like fresh flowers
born of ashes,
like dawn
after a moonless night.

7 billion people
and I found you

Around you, I feel like air
Only when you ignore me I feel the weights pulling me down
You can make me feel like I'm on cloud 9
or you can turn my day into a nightmare

My poems are just words
on a screen
that you read and wonder
why its so hard to say these words out loud
why is it easier to write them down
and you read them out to yourself

I try to write
but
I feel blank
one word
delete
another word
delete
A whole terrible poem
delete

Me sitting there
reading your poem
Trying to understand what it means

Turns out
I don't know as much as I thought I did
about you

I am your shadow
Your follower
You are my leader

You say
I do

I smile
when you smile

I laugh
when you laugh

I feel like a clone
But you never cry
you never frown
You are like the only shiny penny in my wallet
