I was sad for a long time
They gave me magic candies to fix it
I think they mixed them up with love potions
Ever since, I've fallen in love with everyone who sees me
I have fallen for the moon
for the stars
for the clouds
the birds
I have fallen for the entire sky
and everything under it
I have fallen in love with the melancholic
the strange
the broken
and even the dead deer by the roadside
I've fallen in love with life itself
Trying to embrace my love-sickness into something better, this is a riff off of a verse by Sappho when she asks Aphrodite to make her fall in love with life itself.

i watch as you walk by  
with hearts forming  
in my eyes.  
how i wish i were your mirror  
so you could see  
every single one of my whys.  

i don’t know what it is about you  
that makes me act like a total fool.  
maybe it’s the way
your big, brown eyes sparkle  
as you talk about your favorite sonic character  
or the way  
your lips part slightly  
as you draw the image of a girl  
you made up in your head.  

all i know  
is that i’m completely  
head over heels for you  
and just  
you.

She radiates, young

in the old landscape, I look --


and kneel before her.

i always loved rap, drill, and trap more than any music genre out there
like lil peep, central cee, and travis scott.
then one day, you ranted about how much you loved maroon 5
and ever since that day, it was your favorite song from them, “she will be loved” that i’ve been listening to until my earphones wear out.

i was never a big fan of donuts, especially the chocolate flavor.
it was always too sweet for my liking, that’s all.
until i saw you eat a chocolate donut, the only flavor of donuts you like.
from that day on, i always got myself a chocolate donut every time i craved something sweet.

art was something i absolutely ****** at.
i tried and tried but i always ended up failing miserably.
that was until i saw you show off your drawings, ones of your favorite characters.
since then, i’ve been practicing and practicing until i could finally draw and paint you, my favorite piece of art.

i never really saw a reason to be happy in my life;
it was always the same cycle of betrayal, broken trust, and so on.
but then i saw you dancing happily in the rain as you were listening to all your favorite songs
and starting then, i finally found a reason for me to love life:
seeing your happiness— and just you, entirely.

I see you and feel happy
I hear you and my spirit soars
I watch you and am lustful
I touch you and it’s all that exists
I do not love you
I worship you somewhere inside me

As I stand close, I am holding a star
The brightness, heat, gravity
The violent, inexplicable beauty
My skin burnt and scorched down to the soul

And you probably think I’m after a fling
And ain’t that ******* typical.

I don’t want just a glance.
I want the kind of gaze
that stays,
like I’m a piece of art,
not just a face.

A gaze that falls quiet when they see me,
like I just took their breath away.

I don’t want someone
who only thinks I’m pretty.

I want someone
who sees the messy parts,
the quiet overthinking,
and still thinks
“God, she’s beautiful.”

I want someone
who notices the curve of my smile,
the light in my eyes,
the way my hair falls
when I’m not even trying,
and adores it.

Every inch. Every angle.

I want someone
who doesn’t just compliment me,
but worships the floor I walk on.

Someone who looks at me
like they’ve never seen anything
so beautiful.

Because I’m tired
of being “nice to look at”
but never truly seen.

I want to be admired
out loud.

Not just for who I am inside,
but for how I carry beauty
without even knowing it.

I want someone
who adores me like I’m rare.

Because I am.
In this world my ADORATION for her is extreme,
BEGUILING and CHARISMATIC she is in my dream.
DAUNTLESS she stands, ENCHANTING with grace,
Wondrously FABULOUS in her presence.

GORGEOUS she is for I have a special place,
In my HEART, her image I will forever trace.
She is an INSPIRATION in my JOYFUL rhyme
Her KINDNESS is music in time.

LUCIOUS in spirit, MAGNIFICENT in sight,
Her NOBILITY shines during my darkest nights.
An OASIS of comfort and she is my PRECIOUS,
a queen of my world, with pure RADIANCE.

SAGACIOUS in her wisdom and in care, she is TENDER,
UNIQUE in all ways, VIVACIOUS in her spirit.
She is my only WONDER and XENODOCHIAL IN HEART,
For her alone I YEARN as she ignites my ZEAL.

In every moment, I want her feel,
She is the core of my love, a real deal.
All compilation of her virtues align,
As she is my A - Z and forever will remain.

You’ve rattled my world and broken me open
Adoration and obsession flowing red hot like magma
The end of the world for my sensibilities

Dreams of us shift tectonically in my mind
making tremors in my soul
And shaking me down on the page.

And in the vast sea of my thoughts
You make tidal waves
And raise islands, unmovable

I don't know who Richter is
But on any scale I know
You’re a 10
