In Poetry We Say....

You aren’t what I need to breathe like a fish out of water

Aren’t what I desire nor the sounds of laughter

That make me smile.

You aren’t like the fairy tales I’ve dreamed of as a little girl 

And I can’t take it back.

I’ve already thought of it all,

Through my skin and my bones.

I don’t want to be a place for your likeness to fill .

We are all told what love is 

But when it comes down to it 

I think we just sit

In this. 

In a feeling,

Emotion 

We are supposed to understand 

When it’s only the very tip of the iceberg.
