difficult is sleeping with you
effortless is making love
shy is the moment after realizing I’m being too quiet in clarity
for you to feel comfortable
clarity is when I tell you the late evening sun lowers its golden tint
on everything and makes the leaves look vibrant green
and if it were to be one of those funny named colours in a paint swatch, it’d be
"I’m Alive! Green"
frustrated is when I see two pillowcases of identical fabric,
one more faded than the other,
and fail to explain why I’m not sure if the metaphor is sad or not
intricate is the way my mind is built
fragile is the way my heart is
heavy is when I talk about how rarely I cry
phoney is when I laugh about crying at a season finale to cover it up
beautiful is what you remind me I am
insecure is when I talk too much
comfort is eating lots of food
comfort is not eating food
disappointment is when I change my mind about your company
horror is asking you to leave
anxious is the way I feel when you are asleep beside me
frivolous is the pillow talk
juvenile is my babbling
fast is my heartbeat
enigma is what you keep calling me
