alternate universe in which i do not fear giving too much

in this universe, i take the love
that flows in my veins out
for a walk, without a leash
i let it warm up my body,
warm up your body,
you and i would be wrapped
in the safe comfort that
it would never run out,
my love is a waterfall
and in this universe,
i can show it off
say "look at this wonder,
isn't it powerful?"
it will make all the mountains
tremble so they won't hold you.
in this universe, i make
a simple confession,
find the feeling to be reciprocated
in this universe,
he does not matter
there is no need
to swallow the words so
in this alternate universe
i build him a coffin and
nail it down with them,
see, words change worlds
when they're used wisely,

in this universe, the one
with cement polluting the air,
my headphones never
leave my ears,
i listen to the pain
of other poets,
let their hurt slam
the disappointment out of me.
in an alternate universe,
nothing is half felt,
in this alternate universe,
i give and i give and
i never run empty,
in this universe, there is you
loving me,
tasting the world, seeing everything and
snuggling on a Sunday morning

in either universe,
i see you,
say "look at this wonder,
isn't it beautiful?"
