You can't love a poet. Even though, you feel flattered by my witty one liners, And my charming stanzas, you can't love a poet. I will write the good and the bad and you won't like it. You won't like my version of the fight And you'll like my metaphors even less. It will drive you crazy and you will tell your friends, "She's obsessed". I can't help the memories that stick like glue, imprinted on my brain And I can't stop feeling the words exchanged 3 Sunday's ago that you forgot as soon as they left your mouth. I will relive and reread until the end of my days and inevitably you will leave, because you can't love a poet. You can't love someone who will publish your intimacy and print your passion.
