A boy with a heart of gold, an infectious laugh, and an attitude of spun sugar said he liked me today but he has a glowing aura and I'm afraid. What if my dark one tarnished his? What if my baggage is too heavy or doesn't match his? Momma Ashe, I'm scared

Baby, you are not a burden. You are not a dark spot. You are not a stain or a swamp. You are the pillar of light who couldn’t reach all the way to the sun but kept trying. For all you’ve been made to feel like clenched fists, you are still open palms. Maybe he’ll put his heart in them and maybe he won’t, but they will always be deserving of love. 

You will always be deserving of love.

“Under your hands, I bloom into ache–

and heat and want. And heavy breath

and mouth and mouth and mouth.

I melt,

all syrup on your fingers. You could

almost spin me into candy floss, except for

this weight on your hips:

this body

and how it buckles

for your body.”
