Dandelion Wishes

I wish I was pretty
While holding my breath in tunnels
I wish I was pretty
While blowing on dandelion seeds
I wish I was pretty
While throwing a penny into a well
I wish I was pretty
On the first star of the night
I wish I was pretty
On a piece of paper and then burned
I wish I was pretty
On a broken wishbone
I wish I was pretty
On a four leaf clover
I wish I was pretty
On shooting stars
I wish I was pretty
On fallen eyelashes
I wish I was pretty
On rainbows
I wish I was pretty
More likely than
I wish I was loved

Dysfunctional

Let me insult my way into your heart.
Epithets as terms of endearment.
Make fun of my flaws,
don't comment on my beauty.
Hold conviction in your superiority.
Argue about inanities.
Hold me in your arms as we sleep.
Sit comfortable in our silence.
Feel my sarcasm like a wash of warmth.
Know that when I call you dork,
it means "I Love You"
