Little Musical Thoughts
A trio of song inspired poems
*inspired by tolerate it
I tolerated you tolerating us
to the point that I've left and
now my ghost only
tolerates
you.
***
*inspired by freckles (and my grandmother)
I tried to hide my
freckles until I learned
they all came from you.
***
*inspired by my boy only breaks his favorite toys
I keep letting him break off pieces of me like they are petals.
He loves me, he loves me
until there's nothing left.
He loves me, he loves me (not).
