If I Were My Lover's god If I were Your god I would not create you out of dust I would choose only the brightest of stars to make up Your being I would pluck them from their orbit like the best peaches plucked from a tree Smash them together in a beautiful inferno of light And create Your soul The only scripture in existence would read "god looked upon her work and declared that it was DAMN good" If I were Your god I would alter the english language I would rid it of the word 'gland' because I know You think it sounds gross I would erase the words 'broken home' from Your vocabulary Erase 'worthless' Never would the words 'not good enough' spill from Your mouth in that particular order I would give You so many words A word for that feeling in Your stomach in the moments before Your first kiss A word better than beautiful because beautiful is too cheap, too easy Beautiful is for sunsets There are no words for the girl who will one day turn Your starry soul into a supernova, but I will give You the words If I were Your god You could talk to me whenever you got lonely You could ask me questions and I would always answer them I would always be there for You Present, solid, and real for You Not metaphorically, but tangibly touch you There to catch Your tears and to hold Your hand I'd cry for You Yes god would cry I would cry You oceans as a reminder of how much I love You I would paint the sky a new color everyday to remind You that miracles are real I would be the most faithful god You would never quetion whether or not I was real If I were Your god There would be no Hell You would not need to pray to me for forgiveness That's like a dog apologizing to it's master for being kicked I could never see You as anything but holy I would never ever let you burn I wouldn't be a capital-g god for I would not dare be that condescending The artist is nothing without her masterpiece god would worship You The creation worshipped by creator Because god may have given You #life But You have given god something to live for
