To a Blond This May Concern
if those are even the right words:
let’s be children together;
we can embrace our youthful smiles;
free each other; live
in the moment; the sun and moon;
unconventionally;
Ceres and Eris among meteoroids;
link arms, touch hearts;
snap apart the last of our wires;
laugh away brokenness;
always putting Rachel before Leah,
which is my problem,
not yours; you should’ve come first;
he may be what I have
on Earth, but you could take me
to the stars and beyond.

This is actually a piece that had a destination, meaning that I knew what this poem meant from start to finish, which is relatively uncommon for me. I's perhaps another I feel guilty about writing, but I'm trying my hardest to make sure my poems never shy away from honesty. Who this is about is somewhat a secret, so all I can say is, this is certainly something we never messaged about, but it's a pretty big change from unintelligible symbols. So I suppose I hope that readers like the more whimsical tone this poem has (mostly), compared to much of my other work. Adieu!
