you broke my heart/you devastated the biggest vessel/trembling vessels that were imploding/my trembling, weak heart has imploded like a dead star
Dead star/pathetic weeping inside a red hot branch/why does someone feel they can stretch their limbs into my throat and tinker around and fuck around deeper and deeper past my organs and glands just to squeeze my heart
So tight, tighter, tightest
Gravity going down on my body like a half-assed fellatio
So daring and new and fake
I'm rebirthed. Reborn. Drawf stars. New works. Worlds of strange love and life
Dare to kill off the sweetness that you gave to me as leftovers that were about
To spoil?
Dare to feign innocence when your calculated silence only served as a punishment toward me for your lost ego?
Dare to say one pain is worse than the other, dare to say one struggle is more important than another?
I struggle like the Blue Fairy trying to teach the insolent boy how to use his innate humanity
With morality and love
He believed he was fake, not a real boy
But he was always real, he told himself a lie
The real tragedy of love lies in the past of our passionate mistakes
The things we intentionally missed in order to be happy
The beautiful red flags that looked like a blazing trail of real, truly real, truly sweet
Truly gorgeous
Truly magical
Lo——
Fuck it. I ain't no good at writing love poems no more.

"Gravity going down on my body like a half-assed fellatio" That line was so clever! I also loved the part about the red flag. Your poem was so emotional and intense! Loved it so much!
That was a rollercoaster! Lots of beautiful, palpable rage. And OMG I love A.I (the movie, the movie!!) I never hear people talk of that film much.. the short stories it’s based on are also good. ☺️
Lol, love can define how it make you feel at the moment
