My lover and I

My love for them feels so beautiful and destructive

I am drawn in by their essence and I can’t look away 

We went out to eat and I was so jealous of the spoons, forks and the eggs in their mouth 

I wanted to be one with them

I wanted to be consumed and become whole with them

But I knew they wouldn’t understand what I wanted

That my love for them really overwhelmed me and I couldn’t know who I was without them

Hence, I needed to be one with them

I pleaded day and night 

My lover please take me whole

As I am of you and you are of me

And we are one

Nothing with each other

But whole with one another.
