DAY FOURTEEN : PINK , LIKE YOUR BRAIN

oh aphrodite,

to be like you

in a garden of  pink roses , 

to be engulfed in pink perfume , 

to drown in pink dresses

how i adore your pink cheeks

and pink lips

the pink swatches on your arms 

cause you never know which one goes with your outfit 

to have a mindset ,

pink , like your brain ,

how does it feel?

to live and love in a world of innocence 

that isn't that innocent when you look at it

how does it feel being in love 

knowing it's going to end?

do you ever cry?

do you ever look back on your selfishness?

how pretty you are,

i guess i don't have to say it

cause you know it,

don't you?

anyways,

i'd love to be in love with you

but all i am is an outcast 

any number of poems or letters or songs

will ever tell you how

oh how i'm in love with you 

love,

a secret admirer.
