Carousel

I write poetry for my boyfriend
who writes poetry about his boyfriend

The more I write poetry about him
The more he does for his boyfriend.

Sometimes I pause and stop
He does not keep his breath and keeps on writing about him.


I asked him will you write something for me someday.
Just for spite.
He said it is a comic circle baby and you are a carousel.

Oh how love triangles can spin round and round like a carousel. The emotions that it creates and the longing sometimes

Unrequited love multiplied my longing. This is what I experienced.

Those are never easy and it’s heartbreaking. I’ve had a few of those in my lifetime
