Love suits you well

Love suits you well,

Like a tall

Cylindrical vase of water

Filled to the brim,

Tipped and pouring out,

Like laugh lines

Leathered into

Sun baked skin.

Unmatched, I stand by,

Let my loneliness expand

Into the black hollow of my chest

And blossom in dark,

Perpetually happy

For everyone else.
