My mother said we were different. Round peg, square hole, but you still put your red peg right through my chest as my heart was the minefield where you and me played battleships till we sank into moonlight on a blanket in your yard smoking cigarettes. That blanket was my starship and your yard my volcano as I couldn't be less square than the night I said I love you, I love you.
That night you manoeuvred my body like you had a map of my soul engraved in the palm of your hand, crafting me into stanzas with rhythm even Shakespeare could not teach. My syllabic speech echoing your rhyme as you read between my lines that were no longer straight.
My mother said we were different. That we didn't fit, that I didn't fit in. That love is not a feeling but is a bicycle you learn to ride. That true love is something to hide at the bottom of your closet for no one else to find.
No, closets are for clothes and bicycles for forests as love is falling into dirt with your mouth wide open. It is dancing naked to Nirvana at 3am Screaming come as you are. Please, come as you are. I will never change your shape so that you fit me, and I will never erase the lines that make you frown or make you smile.
My mother said we were different. Geometry was never my thing. Thats just the way I am.
