11/11/10A Poem by sea lily
boys used to treat me,
like some kind of butterfly. and it's true, he says, 'you feel so fragile tonight'. i am not breakable, but i want to be exceptional. i want to be more than just another body. i fill the gap in your armpits, in your bed. the quiet recipient of the heartbeat as i lay on your chest. the fervour lasts longer than this please tell me. talk with me, love with me. you are not ungrateful, and i am not sad. i am nothing. not a butterfly not the manic dreamweaver of a kooky male fantasy. i am, 'how was work?' and 'i agree.' © 2010 sea lily |
