I Wish You Would (Poem #33)

She asked you to paint the town red
you took off in less than a minute
and did exactly what she said

When once she fell silent
because of something that you’ve done
you tried to cure her in an instant
you got on your knees
with just a snap of her hand

That was 6 months ago
and you are mine now
but still I wonder
how could such thoughts haunt me
even when I am wrapped by your arms

“atleast you’re with me”
I would say
and then mumble sadly, “physically”

You never did to me
everything you did to her
“I wish you would”
to myself I would say
“but if you wouldn’t
I’d still love you anyway”

Just reading and writing my way out of this messy adult life! I have transitioned from having piles of notebooks stacked underneath my bed from writing on the internet and allowing people worldwide to read.
