Goddess

do u think the bare minimum impresses me?

do u truly think it will be enough?

i laugh in the face of performative love

the theatrics of it all

it is most definitely amusing

i have seen it all, & i am no longer inspired or swayed

everyone is just like the last

this world’s version of love is the most devastating

save me from this wasteland

…

there is a lover somewhere out there

who has already written me the most precious letters

& i did not have to write the first

they are hitherto aware of the things that do not need to be uttered

in silence we understand it all

the roses have been gathered & prepared for me

our hearts speak the same language

without needing translation 

they call out to each other

they know of each other

they were created together

a distant time ago

we came from the same star

embodied beautifully here

destined to live at this very time

to find each other in this lifetime

a moment not yet procured

but it lives deep inside

in our souls & our memories

until the memories because our realities

we keep dreaming, living, & believing

in ourselves & one another

until we meet

& when we do, we will absolutely recognize each other

a most glorious reunion

…

i do not swoon or get easily captivated

& this they know

everyone knows

most do not even dare try

they know they will be turned away empty~handed

i do not mind disappointing anyone anymore

what do i owe them?

you are not her

my love is special

& i will not so easily give it away
