questionA Poem by sea lily
a question posed by
rough, tender thumbs that sweep and catch the saline falling from my trailing, mascara eyes. why am i crying? because i'm so small and my jeans don't fit. because i own fifteen dresses and wear them all with a shirt. i'm not the girl with the sixties hair and the high-neck, i'm crying because my hair doesn't graze my shoulders yet. because i want you to hold me. and sometimes i don't. i'm crying because i just want to paint pretty girls, and not fiddle with cardboard and tape. i'm crying because a second chance, if ever, is always late. you love me so much and i don't know why. © 2009 sea lily |
