It’s odd,
My temptation to use
“Earth-shattering”
In description of something so little
In the scheme of things so big — earth
But it’s impossibly difficult to confess the miniatures of my reality.
my heart has been effortlessly infiltrated
by a disgustingly cute,
troll-like
creature,
after a lifetime of reinforcements
you dove into it as the sea
Open and wild and dangerous and safe and fre

The reality of my experience with you is simply too much to stomach, and I’m very selfish as of late, I’d rather give you credit for shattering the only planet known to support life — does the universe exist if no conscious brain exists to recognize it.

I’d rather give you “earth shattering” than give you “love”

Edit:

I rewrote it:

It’s odd,
My temptation to use
“Earth-shattering”
In description of something so little
In the scheme of things so big — earth
But it’s impossibly difficult to confess the intimate miniatures of my experience
with you
my heart has been effortlessly infiltrated
by a troll-doll:
disgustingly cute.
after a lifetime of reinforcements
you dove into it
as the sea
Open and wild
dangerous yet comforting
— i want to engulf you with my heart.

You entered it by choice
You cannot leave
engulf & entrap you — as the the sea
I cannot;
you are free.
