Poems

Rule me

I hate that the gleam in my eyes is dependent on the light you give out
that my laugh reliant on your words and smiles
my whole day made from the conversations with you
when did my life become controlled by you
and am I ever to get it back
or is this obligation to please you going to hang over me eternally
because despite the tears and heartbreak
I would be insane to give up an existence with you in it
