Ada Limón, From “The Good Fight”, Bright Dead Things

loveee

Half a heart won’t beat

It’s a one sided affection, erupted by my heart. Affliction, as you won’t share your heart. Yearning for your love and attention, causing my mind to pollute itself with nothing but thoughts about you.

Heaven on earth

Take a bite of that apple

Lay on heavens grass with the weather so sunny

Let me give you a taste of my honey

Share my flower with you

Take my cherry and make me blossom

Sweeter than I love you? “I prayed for you”
