Write me a poem...
Write me a poem so you can tell me how I feel about you
Write me a poem so that I can read it over dinner
alone
alone and with these feelings
Write me a poem that will lament these fears
Write me a poem because as I sit here
I will forever be too self-absorbed to write
Write me a poem that can tell me a story...
and it doesn't have to be long, nor complicated, nor confusing, nor problematic,
nor emblematic of societal ills,
nor pumped with critical analysis,
nor post post...
Write me a poem that can serve as those conversations that we've never had,
nor that we ever will
Write me a poem
Write me a poem
because that's the only thing that I can share with you
Write me a poem, because I may like you, but I like liking me more...
Write me a poem because I'm like all the drinks that I imbibe,
because in the same way I never want to see the bottom of my glass,
there really is no point of seeing the bottom of what's inside this soul once the emotions have been poured...
