Like Her Words

-
Someone loves her
And I'm trying
To find out
Her secret
I have my hands held out
Seeking
Some
Comfort
In that knowledge
She smiles and I
Am weeping
For the looks that never seem to reach me
She's had men
Fall at her feet
In pieces
I collect them
Stich them together
Postulate my thesis
Seeing
The eager ache in their eyes
And I
Come no closer
To being anything of consequence
To anyone
But I
Surmise
There must be something
That she's made of
Something I cant make up
From the parts
That make me
Me
But she
Has something
That they need
And I am ever waiting
Wanting
Willing
Them to see
The things I offer
The things I
One day
Hope to be

Diluted Words

self love cause I  let myself  cry in the shower hard ugly  racking  sobs chest  burning  lungs  gasping asking me to relax self love cause  I  admit to myself that I'm unhappy unworthy under self imposed pressures that I never  ease up on self love  cause  I know deep in the places I never let  anyone see I am nothing no one  never have been  never having the strength  to be my own best friend self love  cause I let myself remember  what was done  and I let the ache wash over  me hot as this water hot as this shame  that I claim when I think  of opening up  of being vulnerable  self love cause I won't ever be  that weak  I will keep  my distance my dismissive  dark thoughts  at the forefront  of my mind  self love  cause I'm too broken to fuck  around and find love  find out that I was right  this whole time ...

Romance Words

I am looking for  a little bit  of romance I am weak for it in need of it the sweet  of it a confection  of care and feelings  with  delicate  textures buttery  vestures heartfelt  melt in my mouth  gestures I want kindness wrapped  like ribbons in my hair lace edged everything warm  low  lights soft  heat  gentle pressure urging pleas of please lavender  and velvet  soft at the back  of knees plush lush  rugs  to caress  my spine to beg me  to recline strawberry jam  on golden  spoons  under a golden  moon  hung low in the sky stars glowing the indigo blanket of night  the soft pastels  of dawn  sun casting gentle shadows on a verdant lawn checkered blankets wicker hampers a day  blue and bright hands in hands soft smiles bubblegum blushed cheeks subtle glances asking all the things  I need flowers  flirting ...
