oh, the heartbreakingly beautiful
tender weight of being human.

and sadness clung to me
because she did not know
how to be alone.

you giver of light.
you lover of love.

you beautiful
beautiful
human being
you.

i can't hold onto love.
i'm not gentle enough.

i always end up
crushing the thing
in between my fingertips.

i just want to be honest about my feelings without destroying everything.

no one needs love from you
more than you need love from you.

love yourself first,
and you will always be in love.
