Tousled and tired,
She always said weird things after ***,
Always such great details about things I didn't care about,
But I still listened. Mostly.

She was a sparkling gem peeking out of the sheets,
Much thinner now than when we first met,
But her eyes still lit up like fairy lights in the dark.
Always warned me she didn't get attached or love anyone,
But she's a hard candy with a sweet liquid center.

I keep bringing the money back from the casino,
She keeps coming back to my front door,
Always gingerly kissing her forehead before we part ways, as if I love her.
But she's a little bit more than I bargained for.

We can make our own fate
for this I know is true
because if we hadn't
I never would've met you.
Repeat after me:
I am a Queen, a divine Goddess
There has never, and will never
Be another me.
I have been blessed with
This particular struggle
As a lesson, as a guide.
Every freckle, every scar
Has been delicately crafted for me.
My thighs, carved by the hands of the Universe
My eyes are no less than the burning stars;
I am a work of art, a masterpiece.
Billions of years of careful planning
Have made me who I am.
My existence is entirely necessary,
It is important that I am here.
All is as intended, falling into place
At the perfect pace for me.
All that's left for me to do
Is enjoy this beautiful adventure.
Tiny little flower
You caught me surprise
I most certainly and utterly
Could not believe my very own eyes
In the midst of darkness
Grief and despair
Death and destruction
The desert of all places
You made it.
Without a sea of familiar faces
You reminded me of me somehow
Your strive to survive is also mine
The many circumstances that made you possible are beautiful
You kept my heart alive
And brought back the best things in life that will always be free
Hope, love, and beauty
Back inside of me
In the middle of war
