I want for us to look at the stars together
and see them as glistening
speckles of light
placed by god for you and I
to marvel at.

For you to look at me
as a creation
I am not a product
of a generic process.
I am not
a product of logic.

Understand that you will never understand me
because to understand me
is to liken me
but I am nothing like you've ever known

So if you must love me
love me
with all of your being

If you must,
then love me violently,
but remember I am fragile still
so let your soul
speak to mine first.

I can promise to fill your heart so much
that it pressures from inside your chest

But I'll dial it back
because I wouldn't hurt you

Just know that's how far
I'd go
For you.

E.M
