Storytelling

A Poem by Marissa Fromm
"

.01

"
I look for you in all of the characters
in the books I read, compare them to
you and think about how much you 
were dressed up like a fairy-tale.

I still need you, but I'm learning to be
okay like when I am grocery shopping 
and I can't reach the top shelf or when
I am cooking and I only set one seat 
at the table.

But my God, when I woke up I couldn't
shake the times I spent falling in love 
with your childhood stories, the person
you become after one too many drinks,
the way you dance through the rain -
storms even after I panic about getting 
soaked.

So I make myself tea and tell myself I 
am doing perfectly fine without you,
even though my heart wasn't fooled 
this time.
