Two Beautiful Wrongs
Locations
Two wrongs don’t make a right.
Isn’t that obvious? Isn’t that conventional?
Two demons together surely doesn’t work.
But his scars match mine while filling my cracks
And my words complete him while filling his heart;
Our banes dance together in a tango for two.
He has a chocolate-toned skin and a five o’clock shadow,
A jaw bone to die for and gentle hands.
With a love-filled heart and a colossal sense of humor,
He covers me up like a taco with warm fillings.
But my parents don’t approve of him,
And parents know best, right?
With their convinced censure and sharp voices,
They tell me he’s the worst, he’s different, he’s not right.
Resentment grows quickly as the disapprovals do too.
Two wrongs don’t make a right, but they don’t know
How our mutual affections get us through the nights
And how our tender hugs get us through the days.
I want to change the way my parents think
About the minute things they see in him
They don’t know him beneath his exterior
And even then, he’s still beautiful.
For I’ve been stealing all the stars,
And admiring each and every one.
But the sum of them cannot match
My lover, my world, my sun.
