Methaphorical Epiphany

My love for you
Is a giraffe—
Assembled wrong,
It seems,
But a beautiful mistake.

My love for you
Is toothpaste—
Rumored to have
Healing powers,
But when used,
Just a sticky mess.

My love for you
Is a rainbow—
Abundant when the skies
Are crying,
The treasure at the end
Never quite
Within reach.

My love for you
Is a pencil,
The mediator between
My world and
The world.

But giraffes,
Toothpaste,
Rainbows,
And pencils—

Are a couple of things
I could live
Without.
