bratty

I'm a brat for you, so love me.

bratty.

Or when it

comes to you

I'm selfish.

When you review

something 

I put my heart

into,

and I can just see

the smile on your

face

I want to admit

that I only want you

but the thought

you may want another

makes me want to

throw you in a hole

and keep you 

all to myself.

When you message

me and say

things which you

don't even know

makes my heart

flutter, and do things

which makes my stomach

do weird things, I want

to tell the whole world

that I've

got you

and its only me for you.

When you don't respond

and make me

feel like an idiot

for feeling any of this 

at all, so now I'm 

writing stupid poems

while you do whatever

you're doing

which can't be more 

important than me

then I scoff,

because I know

I'm saying all this

only when it comes

to you

because when it

comes to you

I'm selfish.

bratty.

Author's Note

I hate how it feels to have an interest in someone and you can't tell if they feel the same or not.

Maybe this person isn't worth all your attention. I've learned over the years that, if someone isn't giving you their all when you put in a 100%, they aren't worth it.
Being smitten is one thing, selfish is another. Try to let go a little, don't chase, attract. They might fly to you like bees fly to honey.

I find it's always the people I want the most, yet when its not, they chase so much they chase me off a mountain, goshh.

Thank you for your review, anti!

I love the way this piece meanders through a daydreamy stream of consciousness.

[maya_online]

I was hoping it would come off like this, like walking past different movie sets, each one having a very specific take you can only describe if that makes sense.

Or yk, I could be a fly and my partner I'm talking about could be a steaming pile of s**t, either analogy works

[Joli Dy]

I think I like you!

[maya_online]

lmao, I think I like you too

[Tania Mo]

[maya_online]

Thank you so much for the review, Tumi!

I find opening my mouth is much harder than pouring my heart out onto a page lol

[Jeyanthi]

What a charm...
Even stomach doing somersault we can't hide or mask the hope we carry it al along...
Ofcourse it's bitter but we call it as sweet bitter..
Your writings are intense ...
When we are already on wave and tides, what can one expect...

[maya_online]

thank you for your review, Jeyanthi !

[Dave W.]

I think this is a good thing to be bratty about, love is such a two edged sword. Also really great poem.

[maya_online]

Thank you for the review, Dave, Glad we've become friends :)

[Dave W.]

I agree, I am glad to be friends as well, I think you are a great writer.

[cain_notfound]

This is about me right bae 😍

But seriously, I love how you have a certain pattern to your writing, here where you say bratty at the beginning and end, it's almost like so you can get the first and last word, which is another way you could seem selfish, or have an unadulterated affection for the person you're talking about.

But Maya, if he doesn't see what I see and how gorgeous you are, lets not even talk about your humour when you get comfortable, I'd say if he is one of the poor chaps in your friends list, and he doesn't see what he has, to let him go, you know I'm more than willing to swoop in and take his place.

Great work, cupcake, as always.

[maya_online]

lol you take me outt

I found writing this kind of fun, and you got it fully with the "bratty" at both sides of the poem.

thank you Cain, lets hope he reads your review lmao. And don't go about saying you'll swoop in lol people are going to get the wrong idea.

If I can't call you sugarcane you can't call me cupcake, where'd that even come from
