Poems
Feb 2019
broken boys make for the prettiest poetry
He has a siren's scream
And angel hair
And the devil himself
Sometimes takes up residence in his eyes.
He makes your heart skip a beat
When he waxes poetic about death
And the smoke from his lips
Makes you feel alive.
You love the way
That his voice breaks
And, in his desert of broken things
You'll see the mirage of your strength.
The art that he makes
Is your perfect opportunity
A chance to make his viscera
All soft around the edges.
Let him sing like Cobain.
You'll take that song
Turn it into something
That sounds like Plath.
And you'll beg for those songs
But he won't ever ask for the poems.
The most that he notices
Is that you pity him
When he cries.
He'll bring worry to your pen
And love to your heart
Leave you thanking the heavens
For bringing you a muse
That feels just as much as a girl
Even if it makes you cry
When he leaves you alone.
The curse of the muse:
To you, "can't save him"
Will never sound quite right.
