You made a poet fall in love with you And expected her not to write sonnets about your eyes Haikus about the way you kissed her in the moonlight Expected the fire in her heart not to inspire couplets You made a poet fall in love with you, and when you left Expected her not to write pages about the ache in her chest Write a soliloquy dedicated to her tears Expected her not to feel every gut wrenching moment of the pen hitting paper like your words hit her in the most vulnerable places of her mind. You made a poet fall in love with you, and you expected her to be silent. That is no fault of hers.
