Emotionally Unavailable
a poem by @philosopherbonnie
I drank that night
So I wouldn’t have to feel
The sting
Of nothingness,
After -
I got drunk
With questions
Of absence
And misinterpreted
Texts -
Such great ways
Of being misunderstood.
Sure,
Come over,
Spend the night -
Yeah I know you feel
Emotionally unavailable.
Busy
Burdened
Overwhelmed,
Understandably -
Tragically, nonetheless.
I hold this healing bubble
willingly -
Use me.
I'm getting my touch needs
Met.
Share psychedelic hugs
Connect deep to
Wine soaked neurons
Before they dry out,
Leaving me dehydrated -
Like taking in water that wasn't
Wet.
Beyond your appreciating gaze,
Up on this pedestal,
Doing self-care
Self-partnering
Making love to myself,
Sober -
Wanting you,
Feeling you,
Loving you -
But,
Caring less and less
What you think of me,
Or how often -
Until I see your name
On my phone,
Again.
Hey,
Thinking of you.
