entitled- because
I start all my poems with the word
"because"
I don't know why exactly,
Maybe because all of my poems seem to be the effect even though I'm not so sure of the cause.
maybe the cause is I love you, maybe it's that you don't love me.
maybe it's because I read your poems at 4am and pretend they are about me, and not her.
because my love for you [my feelings] are weighing down my heart; pressing me below the surface.
like having a ribcage wrapped around cement.
I need to get this off my chest, because I can feel myself sinking.
but I can't drown.
not before I know what it feels like to live inside your arms,
to feel excitement in your kiss,
and to feel your requited love radiate around me like sunbeams.
