INFATUATED / This is me,

Telling you, I love you 

march 3, 2024

dedication: Firstly, as cliche and silly as it may sound, I will always dedicate my work to my closest family and friends. I really cannot express how much their support means to me. But these two poems in particular, these are dedicated more specifically, to an old friend, a comfortable stranger and the girl I never got the opportunity to love.

You made me a lover and a liar

Infatuated at the mere thought of you

When the thought of your pictures, hazy and blurred, mean more than the moon,

Desperate for something more,

Even though the moon will last forever, and I can’t remember how you sound,

Knowing that if it ever came

The nausea would come, and id forget to let it go (I’m not sure I can let go)

INFATUATED

This is me,

Telling you,

I love you.

I love.

And I love.

Each person the sun, and my eyes get burnt

And I get bored

I never did like the sun much anyway.

But you are no sun.

You are a moon, with imperfections that make you oh so perfect,

A beauty so entrancing

And never quite burning my eyes

But too far out of reach

I love.

But it hasn’t gone away.

And I don’t know what to do.
