Loveable
i know i’m loveable
but please tell me anyway
because between
sunset & sunrise
my mind goes racing
stumbling
storming
crumbling
i know i’m deserving
but please go ahead
remind me again & again
when i’m feeling
shaken
insecure
false-started
broken-hearted
crushed & marooned
imagining a starless sky
which is
honestly
quite often
i know
i know
i know not to listen to
the voice in the night
& yet
between the sun & the moon
between the candle & the star
reflected in my eyes
is a hint
that i need you to remind me
i’m loveable
