there aren’t enough words
to describe the way that i feel
when you look at me
i would talk about the stars
and the moon,
but my love for you
surpasses this galaxy
and spans further than
i could ever dream to reach
i’m trapped in this hole
and at times i find myself lost
in this pool of darkness
that we call peace;
searching (yearning)
for the very thing
that keeps these embers
in my heart glowing
and they always point back to you
the truth is, i could never fit you
on these pages (even if i tried)
because how do you begin to write a poem about poetry itself?

i know that you’ve heard it all before
but trust me when i say:
i was never much of a writer,
i’m just in love with you
