LGBTQ+ Poem: ~a heart’s reign~, by M.C. Maxwell

i don’t trust myself to love you, the way these feelings wither, the way these emotions fizzle out, the way my heart brawls to beat. i can’t trust my stars to remain constant in the blanket of your black sky. i can’t trust my winds to send you petals of renaissance and romance. but i still stay because i will go to war to keep your heart intact knowing mine could be overthrown in the process.
