Don’t Tell My BoyfriendA Poem by Alexandra
Coming home inebriated
I thought of you and what you would taste like drowned in honey And I thought this feeling could pass But, love, it’s already been too long I feel the aches in your body when you lie down to sleep And your breathing doesn’t slow when you’re next to me And I want to hold you and tell you how much I miss those lips While your waist is hung on me Hung And that’s all I feel like I’ve been doing these days Listening to Sappho And looking at the person on the bench across from me, while reading Grosz I keep diagnosing myself I’m hung up on these loose definitions of love and why I act the way I am Hung On the idea that I am losing myself to my own ideals of you and I Consider this when you see me next time: I am not who I seem to be © 2018 Alexandra |
