A/N: Alright, Y'all, The Long-awaited Poem Is HERE. It Took A While Because I Had Finals And Needed To

A/N: Alright, y'all, the long-awaited poem is HERE. It took a while because I had finals and needed to prepare for move-out, but I did it!

CW: Reader was written in mind as a Black woman, HOWEVER, given that I didn't mention any pronouns or genitals, this is GENDER NEUTRAL <3

Venus, Have Mercy On Me

Riri Williams x Black!Reader

I like you

I like you a lot.

Whenever I look at you

My world starts to spin

My heart drops into my stomach like a slice of pie.

Your presence gently invades my surroundings, filling up my head with thoughts of you and I.

Your beautiful grin makes my heart stop beating

Again and again.

Your captivating brown eyes pull me in

Making me feel like we're the only ones in the room.

Everytime I hear that beautiful voice of yours

My stomach fills with crickets

The rubbing of their legs making my stomach cramp and churn with anxiety and nerves.

Your smooth skin reflects off the sun like a mirror

Smelling like Shea butter and freshly printed paper.

Your hair is braided into neat cornrows that fall down your back

They sway back and forth when you walk

Reminding me of silk curtains on a canopy bed.

When you walk out the room I grow sad

I'd do almost anything to bask in your reverence for a little bit longer.

At night I pray

I pray to the Roman goddess of love to give me guidance and the courage to talk to you.

I say:

"Venus, have mercy on me"

The end! The title was inspired by Venus Versus Mars by Dreamer Isioma, I recommend their music 👩🏾‍🍳💋. But anyway, I hoped y'all liked it! Have a good evening <3

P.S. can someone please tell me how to center paragraphs on this damn app😭 this format is actually pissing me off so bad 🧍🏾‍♀️

Palestinians are no longer asking us to help stop the bombing.

They are asking ( I would normally say begging, but proud as they are, Allah save them. After 106 days, they never begged for anything) for food.

They fear dying out of hunger more than being shredded to pieces by bombs

The messages they send.... How can I tell it's worse.. I can't put it into words, but it's worse

What fanfic writers say vs what they mean. Btw.

we all must get weirder and more queer. i am completely serious and genuine and this is urgent. please get weirder and gayer now. if you see me acting weird and gay mind your business a little bit.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL, I REPEAT THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

I just finished the Miles Morales video game and oh my god it was so fucking good 😭😭🩷🩷🩷🩷 (Totally didn't cry during the ending scene of the final boss fight)

THE CHARACTERS, THE PLOT, THE SUBPLOTS, THE VISUALS, THE GAMEPLAY. INSOMNIAC HAS DID IT THE FUCK AGAIN!

I have seen The Little Mermaid live action...and now I will be scouring the internet looking for good fanfiction cuz why not👁👁

THE MOVIE WAS GREAT BY THE WAY, FU- Ahem, I mean, for those of you who were hating... how does it feel to be as wrong as two left feet on a fish?

Sidenote: We (I was with my sisters) took my nephew as well because he's a huge fan of Halle already, and he LOVED it. Said it was the coolest movie ever (and he likes Jurassic World).
