Awaiting Billy’s Call

Devoted, entirely, forever

By Marti MaleyPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

(already i know this is a mistake

but

currently i don’t care. ahem.)

dear billy,

even though you ignore my texts and

fail to answer my calls

genuinely i believe

humans rarely know what they want

i am in love with you

just in case you missed the voicemails

kinetically we are bound

laws of attraction state this is true

my soul is your soul

never before have i felt this way

oh sure i’ve been in love before

perhaps more than most

quite a few times, actually

rest assured though, THIS is different

silently i study you in class

that flawless chin resting on divine knuckle

unable to contain my longing for your affection

validate this with literally ANY kind of response

we can be happy together. i know.

xoxo

yours. always.

zoey (aka zoe)

love poems
