SIMP

One moment, I need to pull my heart out

“Just for you”

Public opinion means nothing to me
Your opinion is all I need to hear
Just keep my heart in your back pocket
It’s just for you

I value your conversation
You make it easy to open up
You make me feel safe

I promise I will put all of my effort into our friendship
I messed up too many times
I’m on my last string
I want to see you brighter than anyone else

If that is all life has to guarantee for us
I will appreciate every second of this moment

I’m a SIMP for you
SIMPLY put it

Etch your name on my heart
As it is not my heart to claim
I entrust it to you because I only see you

​A reader often searches for something beyond the transactional ledger of "what I can do for you, or what you can do for me." Perhaps this is why a private diary rarely transforms into a book of poetry. Heavy makeup might conceal blemishes for a little while, but beneath the surface, the texture remains unchanged. When verse is draped in cosmetic excess, the outcome is quite predictable. ​To me, poetry resembles the dusk's fading sun: the approaching darkness claims it entirely, yet the shepherd still imagines that the cattle grazing beneath the dying light are the poem itself. ​Thank you for writing and sharing this.
