Lover, I don't have to love.

by kayla-denara-prentice

Looking at this blank paper, I know this poem is mad. Stop socializing so I can walk down the hall exposed. I hate everywhere I’m at, With everything I have and I’m not. I was always the one to stand up and wonder aloud, Run with a high-pitched laugh even. Back with stable bridges, Now to crying mirrors. A month away from that sneaking revelation. I feel bad for my body. It didn’t choose me. It didn’t know what I’d become. Now it has to sit here and accept my cruelties; I clutch my body as she shivers. It’s not everyday you wake up to Pounce upon - we won't say. (And stay.) I’m starting to think the opposite, For rain never leaves the desert completely. http://suchpoeticthoughts.blogspot.com/2013/10/lover-i-dont-have-to-love.html
