Not That Weird

Gisele UMURUNGI

Bring light when my heart starts kissing the darkness?

Loses its rhythm when your hot breath lands on my neck?

Moves in a rhythm when your fingertips cross my thoracic cavity?

When you let my nose smell your lips, reminding me of how wild you are? 

Is it weird that your hands' sluggish movements on my naked body

Bring French songs into my brain, not leaving my heart unmelted?

Is it weird that your chest is my favorite pillow,

Is it weird that I love you even when you're lying in poop,

That I don't mind getting my hands dirty as long as it is for you?

Is it weird that I love you even when you don't believe me?

Even when you think you don't deserve it?

Tell me, is it weird when I say that I can sell my two kidneys to bring you back to life?

The love I have for you is stronger than the small fights we always have,

It's wider than your arms that keep pushing me away,

It's greater than the ocean of tears I shed every time you hurt me with your ridiculous deeds. 

I love you more than you, I, or the world knows
