A Poem by cara

she
though she is the unnamed wife
of the god of war
and she does not get love from anyone
so she goes to the forest at the end of each day
to fetch some from the fairies
so that she has enough to go around
for everyone 
who does not reciprocate

ahem
do not get so caught in her pitiful gaze
that you forget that love is not enough
my memories are blurry because they have to be
so i will try try try to remember what she said to me

first of all her husband says all she needs to say
even without speaking
i get what she's about

you don't know what love looks like
emotional stability
so you cling to a parasite
and you apologize for discrepancies. 

f*****g discrepancies.


what if i take your advice too hard
and wake up just like you
are either of you happy?
are either of you doing the right thing?
