Click hereyou catch me looking
you've no idea how I watch you
you'd think me crazy
I'd like to know you
to be inside
these tastes of conversation
leave my stomach emptier
it's a dull, comfortable ache
I'll keep it because you are far
untouchable and taken
and I am incapable
so I cloak this simple sentiment
and ride my disclaimer
it is not you that I want
but the idea of you
a product of my maudlin mind
like the monster in my closet
the rapist in my back seat
the capable woman I will some day become
they are all imagined, all illusions
they leave my stomach empy, too

bluebellover 15 years agoI think I know what you're saying with this poem. And it's not meant to be creepy and it's not meant to be trite. An elemental desire to trap yourself inside of someone else. You just want to KNOW. From who they voted for to what cereal they like for breakfast. All the in-between bits that create the softness of a being. The things you miss at odd moments when they're gone. And if I really am wrong about all this (which is a distinct possibility), then perhaps I've made a bit of a dolt of myself with this comment. Nevertheless. This poem brings that out in my thoughts and I'll never be sorry about a poem that makes me think. Good work. Thank you for sharing.
WickedEveover 15 years agoI almost stopped reading after the first two stanzas. Glad I didn't. The rest of the poem is quite good. Hey, ever visit the literotica poetry forum? If you get a chance, stop by. :)
