PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Is it true

that I need to hold the standard

alone?

In which case

what am I supposed to say

when my assigned role is at best silver?

I crumble when your eyes burn through my defensiviest? mechanisms

but I don't want to crash-land unceremoniously

If nothing else

please offer me your side-eye

Love me 

and love whomever else you need to

but just love me

and we can fulfill whatever cups remain arid

behind the scenes

behind the curtain

does this satisfy your desires?

a phantom arrangement?
