That feeling of being obligated.
Like a signal mom caring for a child that is not hers.
In the same way you came to me.
For whatever reason you adored me, like a child meeting their favorite superhero.
You admired my works like nobody else.
I admired the love you gave to me.
It was warm and unfamiliar.
So I stayed in bed a little longer.
The look that you gave me was passionate and ready…a burden on my back.
Something I could not repeat with my physicality.
I am a stranger to love and because of that I must vanish.
Leaving an oblivious note that you will read.
-2nd part of “The Spokesperson.” Portraying the view of the idol, these 2 parts contrast in emotion because of the miscommunications between the voice of each poem.
The Idol treats their admirer like an object that is stunned by its love.
Being a person lacking in the emotional department , the voice of this poems leaves not wanting to feel that attachment again because of things they feel the need to do.
