Love

3 months ago · 3 · Poetry, +1

Love is like a filling meal

Good in theory

Something you really want

Until you have it

And you think

It's all too much

I wouldn't know

I only get to stare at others

As they devour plate after plate

I turn down things I know I don't like

To spare the chef's feelings

But I crave a good meal more than life itself

I can't even request a plate for myself

For fear of it not being available, and making someone angry

That I wanted something they didn't have

Or awkward, because they were saving the plate for someone else

And they have to explain that they don't want to give it to me

But alas, 'tis the life of a girl with iffy parents

Great grades but is somehow barely getting by

The therapist friend (self explanatory)

And a child of music with no real social skills

that's all for now,

      Well Izzy I hope you get that good meal you're waiting for. It's hard to find it but, I think there's certain people that meet for a reason.

    Walking down desolate memory lane, Where nostalgia should remain, But somehow there’s no thoughts in sight, I’ll often wonder where these dreams had gone...

    Silent, you pounce and pad your way Across my path of destruction. A distraction, Your tiny paws and yellow eyes That stare, asking a galaxy of questions....
