i will always love you
long as i can find it in my chest
and when it's empty there i'll
pull it up from the ground. even when your body is
laid to rest even when the flowers can
grow from the cracks in bones separating your chest and
bees can suck on memory of your lips, put the honey back where it
belongs i'll still be
waiting, walking over hill and hellfire
carrying my basket of lovewater to
tend to your roses like you'd want me to i
would hold your hand if gaia'd just let me
if she'd just
spit you out from her mouth. when a woman
loves a man nobody remembers but
when fire
swallows its own flame
then
the congregation says a-men
me i'll open up to you forever maybe
longer
in this city and what comes after it you
know, i'll always come around with my warm love fashioned just for you
so it fits in between the palms of your hands
until it doesn't fit no more
until it's too big or too hot
then me i close up like butterflies in reverse i
go back to where i came from
and i leave you angel
Immaculate in the valley. you did it once, yeah
make the world up again
from dust and acrylic paint over
pure plastic you don't have to
tell me my
heart's weighing your spinal cord down. i see
the bump. the strain
the ridges i can pray it away, you
know
but it's okay
i can never make you love me
but i'll make sure you know how well you could
--
um i Never write love poems because i don't like anybody lmao i was listening to blonde this is all a façade all a joke listen to chanel by frank ocean and say a prayer for the world today
