I wanted to be 80 together
Wanted to birth poems like babies together
And watch them grow up to change the world
You’re the only one who could raise a son inside me, and I swear the ground beneath my feet is only soft when you walk beside me.
Your love is the only thing to stop my violence
The best lines I’ve ever written, I plagiarized from the thoughts I heard when you were just sitting in silence,
I held your heart to my ear like a seashell so I could hear the tides of every tear that you’ve cried
And build islands on the peaks of your eyes to show you that there’s land to swim to,
I carved your name in my wrist so my pulse could kiss you,
But bliss is what makes me happy, and I’ll do anything to make you happy
Even if it means setting you free.
