Do NOT fall in love with the poet

She does not make sense
     She doesn't sleep, forgets to eat
     and at times must be reminded to breathe
     Her body cannot fulfill its basic needs
     yet her mind wanders far beyond its reach
She does not make sense

Do NOT fall in love with the poet

She is not good with words
     Though she will never fail to tell you
     she loves you
     she will never be satisfied with
     the combination of words that she strings together
     in a sorry attempt to express how much
     it will ever be enough
     because unless given
     paper, a pen, and far too much time
She is not good with words

Do NOT fall in love with the poet

She is broken
     Her heart has been carefully sewn together
     only to be carelessly dropped the second
     someone better comes along
     She does not
          and may not ever
     believe that she is enough
     more irreparable than a shattered mirror
She is broken
