Someone who doesn't make me feel crazyA Poem by lizardbrain
Admittedly, I am lonely.
I want more love in my life. I want to hold another human close to me and make them feel good, and feel that thrill I want to be excited about someone and sweet on someone I want someone to cook for, to try my food experimentations, to cook for me too, sometimes. I want someone passionate, even if the things they are passionate about are different than mine. I want someone who gets up in the morning with a reason. I want someone who is patient and kind and reassuring when I get neurotic. Who is stable and dependable, who doesn't mind when I am none of those things. Who will allow me to push away quickly and pull back even quicker. Who will read my poetry and not laugh. Who doesn't tell me not to be sad Who encourages the tears because they know they are cleansing and necessary, even if it takes a few dramatic sobs to get there. Who sees that I am frustrated with myself only because I want to be better. Who also wants to be better. Who shares this sense of desperation that I will never be able to shake. Who lets me mope when I want to mope, and rejoice when it's time to rejoice, even if there's no rhyme or reason to it. Someone who doesn't make me feel like I need to stay bottled up. Someone who lets me pour it all out and will lap it back up off of the floor with me. Someone who never makes me feel crazy. Most especially that. Someone who never makes me feel crazy.
