i am ian’s busted heart

someday someone’s
gonna love you
this much & you’ll find a reason
to say no anyway

you think someday
you’ll be ready
but it’s 23 all over again
when you’re scared you’re screaming
no no no no no
it’s not a habit

but love
love is a mirror
and we hate the sight
of ourselves in sunlight

don’t look at me like that
i can’t look at me like that

Hi. I'm a poet. I was a playwright/producer before the pandemic. If you're wealthy and want to be a modern Medici, drop me a buck or two: paypal.me/ksnapreads
