Gypsy Heart

She is disinterested in small talk beyond the park benches.

She longs instead for late-night confessions,

for the quiet unraveling between sentences—

the hidden chapters you both never dared to read out loud

 

She has no fondness for candlelit dinners

or anniversaries dressed in silverware and manners

What she wants is the open road at dusk,

the wind like a dare,

no map, no compass—

just the delicious risk of getting lost together

 

She detests the pop songs blaring from car radios,

those perfect little lies that everyone sings along to

She belongs to the sound of something raw—

a forgotten folk song, an aching guitar,

a voice that cracks where it shouldn’t

Her room is lined with vinyls and dust and memory

 

And no—she doesn’t want drizzles or passing breezes

She wants the storm;

The hurricane that splits her open,

the tsunami that drags her under—

because only in the wreckage

does she remember what it means

to feel

She won't settle for something ordinary or less than what she deserves
