Read me. Read me like a novel, Skim every page, feel every sentence. Embrace my physique, breath my being. Love my blackness, my charcoal, my coils. Love me like humanity hates me. Love me like I love myself. Be my muse, my expertise.


The author's comments:

This is something I wrote out of nowhere. The funny thing is, it was at a really indecent time, I was sitting in class and my friends were talking about chick-fil-a. Something told me to write something, so I did. 

  This is a short poem about my perfect ideal of love, uncondtional, accepting, selfless. In this poem I am vulnerable (which is impoosible for me) I allow myself to foil infront of the person I love. I want this person to accept my flaws, and be completly obessesed with me at the same time. I've never experienced love, but I expect this is how it should be. Despite how society see's me, this "special person" values my existence.

All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.

Love is a strange and weird thing that captures our hearts with each other, I like this poem for being short and simple but means a lot through each line, keep it up.
