Don't look into my soul;
I didn't give you permission to.

I keep a cracked mirror in my room.
My mother asks why,
Yet I'm too scared to tell her that it's because I want to see what's on the inside of me.
I find it weird how poets can look at a field of grass and find meaning behind the vast expanse of space.

You were a crack in the sidewalk
That I meant to step over,
But I ended up stumbling and falling
Into you.
Stumbling and falling,
Like how Alice tumbled down the rabbit hole.
You appeared to be much deeper
Than I ever imagined possible.
And for a crack (more like a canyon) in the sidewalk,
You had impressive lighting and decor.
I think I'll make myself at home.
I learned that
Things aren't always how they seem,
Along with the wisdom that
You don't get bad luck
For stepping on cracks.
Although,
You may find yourself lost in another world.
I just thought you were a crack in the side walk,
But you were (you are) so much more.

*I hope I'm not just one to you.
Is this metaphorical enough for you?
(Could have done better but)

When I was little,
I always wondered if people wore nightcaps to sleep to capture their dreams.
Does anyone still wear these?

I told him that the holes in his ears were individual universes that I'd love to explore,
So he plugged them up.
I should have left you right then and there.

he.
I curled up under the Columbine sheets,
He planted kiss after kiss on my rosy cheeks.
His eyes told me words that could never be said,
And with that, he climbed into our lovely king bed.
He told me that he liked this one so. Yeah.
