Poem Title:
Poem
i swore to myself when i saw who she became that i would never want a domestic life, i would never settle down. but the simple act, of holding you, listening to the sounds of your sleeping as you lay in my purple David Bowie t-shirt two sizes too big, i think i changed my mind. i want a life with you. i don't care if that's domestic, I don't care if that's settling down, i want a life with you, and i want it to last. and i want to see you in my t-shirts, and hold you, and love you. and i want us together, and i want to see your big green eyes with your bright smile, against the purple of the fabric of my clothing. and i want to see you happy, safe, i want you to return from a family visit, and not have tears in your eyes, because this time, this time that family will be ours. and i want to hold your hand, and I'm without religion but i found faith in your face, and i want to frame your picture on my bedroom wall and read it like scripture. i want you, and you, and only you. and i want to love our life together because you make me better, but i know that is not for you to carry. that is not for you to hold on your shoulders, like the weight the world has already bore onto you, i will not bare my soul, but i cannot bare the thought of us apart i want us to leave this place, a brand new start, and i want it with you, because for the first time, i feel like it's possible. i feel like we are. and i want you to know you're not alone, and i want you to know that you're a work of art, and you're beautiful, and wonderful, a phenom of those before you who you broke free of and wrote yourself a new series a chapter a home a belonging you created a life for yourself, and you'll continue to create, because you're brilliant, and you shine so bright, and i swear to you, with all my might that I'll be there i will and i will and i will. siempre, forever, always.
