you are not toxic

it's not debatable
or disagreeable
or untrustworthy

you're copper and rainbow
and you glisten in the sun.
you glow in the moonlight.
each side of you faces a different star

your sun blinds me.
it is bright, and warm, and encouraging, and strong.
it soaks into my skin.
it grows there.

it will always be harder to see where i am headed in the nighttime.
but your moonlight
sweet, gentle, bathing me in milky, melancholic, homesick love
it's all i need.

i wish you could see everything you are
(but then you'd see everything i'm not)
