" They say don't fall in love with writers
because their poems
are messy
and their letters
are empty words
dressed up to look pretty.
But I say
fall in love with me
because underneath the mess
and in between the lines
is a heart too full of love
that would follow you to any city.
Darling,
kiss me like you need
to feel safe
because my lips want to know
all the places
you have been hurt
so they can make all the pain
drift away. "
