"Approach My Phantom Doors With Caution"A Poem by Avery JamesTwin poems written in emotionally different versions. Based off of a specific poem from another writer.
Thirtieth: I lay alone on the couch cuz you’ve yet to have woken And these secrets we keep cuz Our truth’s never spoken. When I crumble from pressure in a heap at your feet Do me a favor once, please. Slit my wrists And watch them bleed. I’ve bent over backwards for you Cracked the nicks of my spine. Studied your writing To copy these rhymes. I read the work And read the author But honestly dear you’re best at night. When you’re alone and I’m gone Remember me And know one thing I’m not okay and I’m not all right.
Second: I write my first words of joy cuz Finally your eyes have opened With a whisper to my ear The truth’s finally spoken When I fall to my knees from pleasure In a heap at your feet Return the favor once, please. Trace my face Just when I need. You’ve thrown away your pride for me Bowed your stiff spine You’ve proved enough To revise these rhymes. I’ve read the work And read the author Take me there, morning day or night. Don’t worry dear Just hold me close I’m in love and I’m doing all right.
