and oh, darling, how many times must i say this-
i am caught in a web of doubt and the spider is reeling me in-
how many scars must i show you before you believe i am not perfect?
there are dark marks of kisses on my neck and collarbones
but somehow it feels that the canvas of my skin is so empty still-
late at night i long to paint my limbs with crimson life
but i remember your smile and sit on my floor like a child,
dry-eyed, stringing shiny beads onto elastic cord and trying not to give in.
it is such a story, love, and we are hans christian andersens
desperately cobbling together sentences and hoping we make sense.
it seems forever and a day since you told me you loved me and somehow-
somehow we have held on, through tears and anger and uncertainty,
and sometimes i feel i am chained to you but it's a good feeling.
the little mermaid turned into sea foam when her love married someone else,
hans christian andersen said- i would like to meet him and ask
if he has ever lost a love. lost love does not turn you into something soft and beautiful.
lost love makes you hard. it turns your eyes to pebbles and your skin to stone-
and darling, if i ever hurt you, i hope to god our love isn't snuffed out.
rambling and short. i apologize.
