Maturity

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto


Maturity

 

 

when you left me,

i stomped my bare feet on a bed of thorns,

cursed the open window of my world

screamed into the white sheet

words i cannot, here, repeat 

 

and cried like an infant for the teat of sustenance

 

but i really am trying to grow up,

 

really, 

i am.

Please, no offense and sympathetic of the pain, I couldn't help but get a big giggle out of this.
I want to tell you guys that that immaturity isn't all your fault.
We woman have our way of taking control in a leading way that sorta leaves ya boys like abandoned puppies when we leave abruptly.
That "teat of sustenance" is sorta yanked away too quickly and perhaps cruelly.
I must admit sometimes intentionally. Lets say sort of a pay-back, for making us want to go.
But of coarse it's all your fault.... of coarse..... I'm sure you know that. :-)

Whoever said one should
i guess maturity applies for certain things

but i say in some other things

we gotta be as immature as one can get

you should have seen me when i broke up lol
you would have laughed your head off
