Unrequited love

I wish I could be 

Another me

Not so weak or angry
Graceful and pretty
I’d walk in the city 

And maybe then I’d be the version of myself you always needed
I wish I could water myself down

Put on a mask of someone else

No longer drowning in self loathing

I’d be the girl you want

But the girl I am is everything 

Ugly, angry and delusional

1000 different “she’s”

Can you really handle me?
Which version of her is yours?

Am I a late night graze across your lips

Am I a burning sun in your sky

Or just a dying light when you look into my eyes?
Chasing your moonlit radiance

I revolve around your orbit

But never quite reaching you,

My unrequited love
