America's Favorite Myth
The warmth in your eyes
penetrates my thick skin
and melts my inhospitable heart.
Appearing.
Dissapearing.
The ghost of my life.
Displaying pure vulnerability to you.
My parents
they don't believe me when I speak
about you.
But I know you exist,
you could.
Take me under your wing
and let's soar
loud and proud.
Cuddle you when I'm afraid
and share my deepest secrets.
Can we grow like wildflowers
and rising dough together?
Peter and Wendy
have nothing on us.
I wish we could be together
But
it's all in my head because
everyone knows that
love
is the most mythical creature
that couldn't ever exist.
