how was today not enough for me when
today was you and that antique store you
love and you being so completely you.
when you dropped me off at my door you
waved the way I love with just your index
finger and I wanted to ask you to stay, to
come up and be quiet with me in my drafty
apartment, but instead I just watched
you wink at me and disappear around
the corner. why didn't I ask you to stay?

You have built a
makeshift home
for me in the palm
of your hand. It's
uneasy there but
I don't know how
to leave your
meadows and
skyscrapers. You
mostly keep me
stored in your front
shirt pocket, safe
from the wind and
rain, but sometimes
you pull me out
and whisper to me
that my flowers
look lovely, have
I been doing something
new with the
arrangement of my
porch, the sunlight
looks beautiful in my
hair, why don't I
get out more often?

I have tried to
detach myself
from you but
you have sunk
the deepest
hook into my
stomach that
just turning
away from
you is painful
enough.

the other night
you said you
claim
me- and vise
versa- but tell
me how you
can call
someone your
own but also
not want them?

everything inside me you
had sewn up i tore open
again. my god, come back.
Megan Grace Dec 2013
i cannot shake
you because
you are in my
bone marrow
and my every
thought. we
are old love.
Megan Grace Dec 2013
I've
done
nothing
for the
past six
months
but be
lost in
you.
