I never learn.
People say
“you’ve got a piece of my heart”
to each other,
but I can’t love like that.
My love is blazing, not warm, not tepid.
It’s like I grow an entire organ
full of sunshine
every time
and when the possessor goes,
that piece of me
will be raining
forever.
I can’t do it any other way.
“You care more about everything
than most people care
about anything anymore.”
Truthfully, I don’t even want to change this weather.
Sometimes, I just have to carry an umbrella to manage the day.
I don’t believe in sun sign significance, mostly.
But Aquarius?
I’m going to give so much light
and bear so much water
by the time I die
I will be an ocean.
