solace in the sadness

still as beautiful as snowflakes, still as sweet as popping candy

she’s perfect and intact like nothing has ever damaged her

and when you tell a joke you stole, she laughs the hardest of them all

your sanity becomes a foreign subject around the stardust she is made of

loathing aphrodite for her beauty won’t make you any lovelier

do your eyes meet like two lovers finding each other again?

does it terrify you how familiar it feels?

did her touch bring you back to life, cool down the raging fires in your mind?

her gentle nature frightened you, she saw you as her equal,

and not the brute that you are

it was her world until you tore it apart, you walked all over her like the ground was yours from the start

you see her everywhere but you will never know her,

still as beautiful as a snowstorm, still as sweet as a sugar crash

and she still carries the weight of you, she thought your fire was meant to keep her warm

until it burned her and she became your reflection

loathing aphrodite for her beauty won’t make you any lovelier,
