Your Little Nest

A poem from my black little notebook.

I had to put you out of my sight

so I shrunk you half feet tall

Then I stuffed you into a little box

and stopped thinking about you at all

Today I locked and hid that box

and made it your little nest

I'm still not sure why I did that

but I can take a good guess

When I keep you locked in the box

I choose to die a little less

Pretty please don't run away from it

It will ony create a mess

I won't give away your space in me

but I'm saying you're just a guest

The lonely yet familiar echo

now hardly beating on my chest

It wasn't all only on you

so I'll finally give it a rest

Next time I promise I will have

a complete bulletproof vest

This tickle my bones, a bit of humor in concept. Nice notion with simile in structure.

Naw don't let em off the hook let em wear it all.

I actually found this poem a bit humorous, which could be a little weird, but it's fine. I actually really enjoyed it! Simple, yet beautiful, and such good symbolism and imagery. I really though it was a great poem.

Fantastic job! Keep up the good work!

Oh wow, thank you so much! :) I guess it's meant to be a little humorous as well! In a cute way, you know? Thank you so much for the review!
