My love for you is like
eight
but turned sideways
it’s endless
Nina 20h
what if
what I want is
as easy as
tea
I just want it warm
Nina Aug 2024
Where are the birds
they follow the light
without holding it tight
oh how far they fly
in this clear sky
& they carry
all this
hope
they carry me to you
I need no shoes
in the sky
to fly
have you ever seen shoes
in the sky?
Nina 19h
For you
I’d be red
I’d be blue
I’d be a shoe
I’d be a hat
I’d be a bed
I’d be a flower
I’d be a shower
I’d be a dress
I’d be a mess
I’d be anything
I’d be everywhere
Would you wear me
if I was a shoe
if I was a hat?
Would you lay down on me like I was your bed?
I’d be the sun
just to kiss you all day.
for my girl
How
Nina 20h
How
how do I crawl
back into my
skin
at midnight
after a day
of waiting
running after
time
never coming near it
or you
Nina Sep 2024
I am used to things
being fragile
but you feel
like soil
like earth
like the ground
I was walking on
all along
and I want to
flip the world
upside down
& hold you up
to the stars
for you deserve
the whole sky
& nothing less
Nina Jul 2024
Feels like being tied to
a tree
when I want to
fly
I hold you so
high you’re my whole
sky
I dance to the
beat that you
give
you’re my speed
you’re my space
you’re in every step
that I take
you’re my grace
come untie me
& let me
fly
to you
let me stay
ask me to stay
and you’ll never have to ask again
Nina 20h
Panama
hold me
again
day one
unpack what I
held for you all a(long)
flight
been flying for years
to see you waiting
for me
I was never not
waiting for
you
Nina 20h
I want to write it clear
morning sky clear, no fog
no fear
how I feel
up and down
I have no steering wheel
just two lungs
both
running in circles
gasping for air
to share
with you

— The End —
