“

I am not the first person you loved.
You are not the first person I looked at
with a mouthful of forevers. We
have both known loss like the sharp edges
of a knife. We have both lived with lips
more scar tissue than skin. Our love came
unannounced in the middle of the night.
Our love came when we’d given up
on asking love to come. I think
that has to be part
of its miracle.

This is how we heal.
I will kiss you like forgiveness. You
will hold me like I’m hope. Our arms
will bandage and we will press promises
between us like flowers in a book.
I will write sonnets to the salt of sweat
on your skin. I will write novels to the scar
of your nose. I will write a dictionary
of all the words I have used trying
to describe the way it feels to have finally,
finally found you.

And I will not be afraid
of your scars.

I know sometimes
it’s still hard to let me see you
in all your cracked perfection,
but please know:
whether it’s the days you burn
more brilliant than the sun
or the nights you collapse into my lap
your body broken into a thousand questions,
you are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
I will love you when you are a still day.
I will love you when you are a hurricane.

In my head, there is a constant echo
of the things I tell you in my sleep -
the things I fear you’ll hear
through the walls of my skull
as you lie next to me
because they are just too loud,
and it’s a wonder they haven’t
shattered my bones in their violent panic
as they search frantically
for an escape route.

I hope one day my ocean of wishes
will cascade over your cool indifference,
and you will have no choice
but to feel.

I kinda have this theory that comedians are the deepest people alive. To have the strength to take a magnifying glass to and examine life so closely that you can actually pick it apart and make fun of it - that’s gotta take some depth.

And if anything ever happens,
I’ll just remember the moment I met you,
how I saw you and I felt you;
and once I made the words a sound,
there was no looking back.

“Still, the longer I was around her, the more I could see the colours of her mind and the recesses of her heart. There was a beast in there. But there was also a girl who was afraid of being a beast, and who wondered if other people had beasts in their hearts too. There was strength, and there was also just the determination to look strong. She guarded herself like a secret.”

Water,
it’s beautiful,
but only because it reflects the sky.
It’s the changeability of it,
the fact that when you grab it
there’s no way to hold on.
The way it’s there and then it’s gone -
it’s beauty only a memory can keep.

And this,
this is how I am beautiful.
You look at me,
and you try to capture it with words.
“I don’t see it,” I say,
looking away,
knowing the truth.
It’s no use,
I know
when you see it you’ll know too -
that I’m beautiful because
I help you see you.

It’s hard to know yourself,
so I’ve never even tried.
I sit here and you watch me die,
gracefully,
slowly,
and I paint it out for you,
painful and true.
You realize it then -
you’re dying too.

Water,
it’s beautiful,
but only because it reflects the sky;
and similarly I
run down the back of your head,
to your spine;
and you feel so clean,
and then you dry,
and realize
you are still caked with dirt.
