A Love Letter To The Stars

Forgive me body.

I am a poet who uses the word 'love' to frequently.

I put it in as a synonym for feel and admiration and pain.

I stick it like a post it over my poetry and call myself a hopeless romantic.

Forgive me body I fall too hard.

I launch myself at the ground like it is arms that I can disappear into,

Forgive me body.

For I know the bruises on my knees don't fade for weeks but I don't stop falling because I love scars.

I feel scars, I admire them and they bring me pain but I do not love them.

I use 'love' too often for a girl who is scared of being seen.

I use 'love' too often instead of just saying what I mean.

So I guess what I mean is that I'm feeling.

I'm feeling the floor hurtling up towards me and I'm admiring the stars from my position on the concrete.

So forgive me body.

I do use 'love' too often but thats because its keeping me floating.

The word is becoming a life vest that stops me from falling to the floor and I would rather you be scared than broken 

So forgive me body. 

Forgive me body because I say 'love' too often but that doesn't mean I don't comprehend it.

It doesn't mean I don't love

Like I'm falling.
