Everybody Needs A Fence To Lean On Poem by Lara W.A

He told me
He'll name the stars after me
The one in the middle
Furthest apart
Shying away from everything else
He told me
I outshine the rest.

He knew
I like it better when it’s dark and black
I like it better when the sun don’t shine
I like it better when I can’t be seen
He said he knew all that
But he wants to be there anyway
He wants my night to be dark blue.

I told him
I’m okay with being alone at night
Being invisible doesn’t harm me
But being alone in a crowd –
It hurts so bad
He told me don’t fret
‘I’m your sunscreen.’
His phone is on vibrate for me.
