A sweet love,
like melanin kisses
wrapped herself in lingerie
and grinned since she spoke of you.
Her heartbeat was heard
above the thousand stars
beaming as she had wished
plenty of you, and then it had came
true.
Yes, you came through,
left her star struck,
moon like,
but shadowed her blemishes.
She needed you beyond one night
to be the light on her top shelf,
til she found the worth
beyond her darkness.
