Poetry: ‘This girl is not romantic’

Photo Eva Wilson

    I guess I’m not romantic

    maybe that’s why no guy 

    has ever given me flowers

     

    today I saw some wedding pictures

    and felt a gag

     

    “We chose forever”

    and I choose “maybe never”

     

    I went home to cut my hair

    and I’m happy the cat went out 

    because I want to sleep alone.

     

    ~ my love poems are a flower that hides cool in the shade but loves the sun
