Do NOT fall in love with the poet
She does not make sense
She doesn't sleep, forgets to eat
and at times must be reminded to breathe
Her body cannot fulfill its basic needs
yet her mind wanders far beyond its reach
She does not make sense
Do NOT fall in love with the poet
She is not good with words
Though she will never fail to tell you
she loves you
she will never be satisfied with
the combination of words that she strings together
in a sorry attempt to express how much
it will ever be enough
because unless given
paper, a pen, and far too much time
She is not good with words
Do NOT fall in love with the poet
She is broken
Her heart has been carefully sewn together
only to be carelessly dropped the second
someone better comes along
She does not
and may not ever
believe that she is enough
more irreparable than a shattered mirror
She is broken
