You are the girl
who speaks in poetry
You control every word
you count syllables
and understand rhythm
you can even rhyme
without seeming silly.
You are the girl
who does not know tragedy
but can write about it.
You are the girl
who drinks wine
on her roof
and wishes she could see the stars
because that would be
so
poetic.
You are the girl
who is so arrogant
because you can speak
in poetry
and I can't even write it.
