for the boy

whom I love more

than sunflowers love the sun

Love is a concept

all so shiny and kind

burning it’s existence into our mind

only leaving a bittersweet taste behind.

Making us believe

that the only way to ever feel released

Love is a concept for the brave ones

the ones willing to let go of all they ever knew

because if you are going to love

you will eventually become someone new.

of being torn apart by a stranger.

But then I met those eyes

strangly at first but whom they belonged to

was always so nice.

And it made me feel safe,

yet my cage of independence was endangered

to be torn apart.

Because how could I ever be independent

when every look I threw at you was seen as art.

And my heart which belonged to me

was suddenly aching to be given away

yet the cage of Independence
