You said the moon was a tease

 

***

but was that only once she gave you ease?

for those of us who grew up

in calamities

it's easy to see missing pieces

where peace is

***

You are the cutest Rubik's cube I've ever seen

 

but i would never try to solve you

or other beautiful things

people say we should fix

before trying

to see

have you noticed that?

how colorful a Rubik's cube is

before conformity? or

that most things we call cute

are just things tinier than

they're supposed to be? or 

that most fortune cookies are now

actually advice cookies, and

that's a tragedy?

Love yourself

 ***

I want you to know

That dating me

will never be easy

but it will

feel like ease

you see

I am like the ocean

that beats against

the shore,

ever pressing

not to be

ignored

lifting you up

then setting you down

softly, again,

I will hold your grains

in my hand, and

let them go 

so that you

can stand,  you

told me that fame

was the price, we pay

for making change,

so let me in,

let us be

exchanged.
