Spilled Tea

Intimacy

I was born into a world
that has too many
one-armed hugs.
I fall in love with universes
that don't exist,
yet part of me thinks they do.
It thinks they do,
but only inside
the farthest speck of the
orange and pink sunsets.
My body begs for
what is not existent,
but my mouth has
learned to not.
I crave for stargazing
and the words
I've been dying to hear,
but told in truth.
I need to know what lies
beneath the prettiest of irises
and girls that are
beautiful and comforting
mysteries of this earth.
I have been learning of
what it is that I,
just as everyone else,
deserve in this life.
I will not be shaken
nor tricked that I will not
obtain what I have
been promised.
I was born into a world
that has too many
one-armed hugs,
but I will live a life
that is filled with things
far greater in intimacy.
