starry starry w*rds

just because you align starts
after the first letter

doesn't mean you didn't say it.

if you meant it, you mean it.
if your mean 'bout it,  you mint it.

should we sign our letters,

"L***"

another four letter word
that we don't mean when we say
that's stronger
than lemon and water--
richer than cream spilling from your mouth,

mouthing words with stars,

starry starry starry nights
full of
starry starry starry eyes
filling mouths with
starry starry words

without meaning any how.

But, don't you know?
none know what they mean when they say four letter words,

but i know,
what i've done.

bound myself in some way to you.

don't you know,
i'll always L-l-l-o....
                                                        i'll always love you.

but i don't L*** you.
not that starry starry word.

because you make me feel like s***
your favorite starry starry word.

it's not gonna be easy,
loving you, not L**ing you.

not gonna be easy,
but
so, so worth it.
