to be free
a moment in breaking my own heart
the moment I saw you, I saw your potential
and wanted it so badly for myself.
you are no good for me,
because I am not good enough for you,
yet I crave you anyway,
a pain I am willing to endure, for you.
I wish you would see me the way I see you;
glowing, radiant, brilliant.
yet I am not you; rather the opposite.
I would turn your world into despair.
you don't deserve that.
so, instead I will fantasize about you,
lost in the never-ending daydream:
the one where you see me too,
and you take my darkness and turn it into light.
suddenly, I am free.
you make me better, healthier, happier.
I want to absorb you into my skin,
take your cells, your DNA, your thoughts,
and make them my own.
but I am no good for you,
so I will let you be.
and instead, dream of what it's like to be
free.
