for my love.

sizzyrocket:

you deserve to be behind a glass window

framed like an original Dali -

and if your clocks were melting I would freeze them for you

dusted and shined, watered and adorned with ribbon

you deserve to be looked at -

and I would get so close, my lustful breath would fog the glass.

–

I want to give you New York City in a jar -

the withered avocados in the Chinatown fruit stands

the glitter in the eyes of the young, impractical romantics from small towns

the virgin leather of a new taxi cab we will never hail

I want to give you all of the sounds

I want to make you feel bombastic, anti-reality

I want to blow you kisses

show you my gums, strawberry-red

and shower you in confetti, rain water and dream-syrup

–

I will break the glass and carry you over the shards

excuse my bloody palms as they wrap around your shoulders -

I am stealing you from inside of the velvet rope

and everyone who paid full price to see you is infuriated

I am taking you out into the city

because it is ours.

It’s not fair to tolerate discomfort to make someone else comfortable. You’re not less deserving of joy, rest and happiness than anyone else. You don’t have to prove yourself worthy to have the most basic things in life, and I am sorry someone has made you feel like you should be perfect. You don’t have to put up with so much only to prove you’re not a burden on others. I hope soon you can let go of all this guilt and shame you have for simply existing. I hope soon you will feel more alive than ever.

Gentle reminder, not everyone will understand you. It’s not their job to understand you. It’s yours! Put that effort that you put into others into yourself! Find the things you love about you, find the things that make your heart sing and your body dance! Understand you!
