I AM GOING TO WRITE YOU A POEM

Your hazel eyes are asleep.

The world is on stand by.

Everything is getting weirder.

I got you by my side and I am invincible.

Oh, beautiful boy made of stardust,

how come you chose me?

How come you decided to make me part of your messy, crazy, beautiful existence?

I was not worthy.

I am not.

 

The mermaids went silent,

the tides cried desperatedly to the moon,

it was freezing cold,

it was a bleak winter deep down the soul.

I didn't forgive me, yet here I am,

loving again.

I am not the same person,

my wrecked edges prickle me,

my heart finds it difficult to believe.

What kind of miracle this is,

what kind of new beginning.

I ask the stars to be gentle,

I ask you to be patient

with this handful of nerves I am.

I am going to write you a poem.

You will learn I am broken,

you will learn that I care.

 

I looked at you and I was breathless.

My inner fire started.
