I am enamored with the aspects
you choose to share. Such beauty transcends your
physical glory and
what you believe to be the
flaws of your mind.
Who am I to place the ideal of
my fascination
upon you?
Why should you carry this burden?
I see what you want the world to know, but seek
that which you would hide.
I know myself;
if I could only beg the same from this
Aphrodite who
mirrors your steps.
Haunts my dreams.
Your struggles,
your triumphs, your plans
and regrets
would be a nourishing nectar.
Would that I could do the same
for you. Be the same
for you. Prostrate myself
For You.
I am at a loss, yet cannot cease blabbering in the radiance
of your complexity; the glory
of your authenticity.
Be a balm for the lonely hearts; always.
Know that you brought this man to
slit his wrists and pour forth a
Prayer
in Ink.

Slitting your wrists and pouring forth prayers in ink is something you do with astonishing ease. Your willingness to bare your soul so nakedly blows my mind. Honesty is essential for great writing. I’m so impressed by you.
