You could have a man
that would fetch the stars
if you wished

A man that would devote
sunrise to sunrise

A man that would come back
again and again
only to meet a sub par love
because he’s addicted to your essance.

But that will never be good enough for you

Today,
I vow
Never to be hurt again.

when its night,

when the townspeople are safe in a dream,

when the sun has gone to bed and

and the sky welcomes the moon and stars,

the waves of the ocean come to greet me.

They float up over the cliffs,

over the salty roofs,

and onto my balcony,

where they tickle my ears and tell me of what tomorrow has in store.

Embrace existence,

because for now you exist.

Embrace being human,

and all that it entails.

Resistance to yourself,

is a futile attempt,

because you are all you’ve got.
