Look, look you say
Look at these lines and swollen shapes,
My hands that can cover your tiny waist,
And my size that is twice as your slim form--
But baby,
I want more.

But look, look
You say as you cover your eyes
And grimace away
A thunder of a thigh,
And the rest, can die—
God knows how long I’ve wanted to change.


So look, look as I kiss your face
Every part of your body I won’t erase,
Haven’t you heard
That "your body is a wonderland"?
A gift that I cannot reprimand.
But—

Look, Look I say
Look at these beautiful shapes that
Fit perfectly into my arms as I lie awake,
Because baby, we have found our balance,
Our chi, our feng shui,
The yin and the yang,
And so baby, change for “I” rather than for me,
Because this is where I want to be.
I originally ended the poem with the line, "Goodnight. Let's fall asleep". Initially I was fine with this but as I kept reciting the piece, I found "Because this is where I want to be" flowed out instead. If anyone like the original one better, by all means, tell me!
