Lover-girl.

For Revanth.

The third week after you left,
I stepped on
the weighing scale.

The sharp, unkind numerals glare at me.

it must be...

warmth,

compliments,

smiles,

and care,

-

you -

who once weighed me down, beautifully
crushed me, softly,

so the tenth digit slipped,
and I became a little lighter,

a little

less.

  My favorite shape might be

  circles

This rhythm feels like home, and ease,
a constant spin with
no degrees.

There’s comfort in the

symmetry,

in knowing that leaving, means

finding you again,

no need to flee.​

I trace the constant - you
- an endless, gentle loop.

Without an edge or corner,
no foresight to oversee.

----------------------------

But this makes me lose
my marbles.

Just let me come,

instead of circling

home to you.

Poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for"
