Let Me Rest For Awhile

cinderella

often, am i studied,
judged as
high and aristocratic,
careless and happy.
"no man deserves
her, she's royalty,
she's a well born, belongs
to a noble family"

but you, a bourgeois,
an ordinary man with quirky
idiosyncratic beliefs and
serving looks saw me
as normal grace too humorous
for your
own good, a cinderella
with colorful nike kicks.

your eyes are
sparkly and posh like
an elite. your touch
is careful and practical,
so heavenly.
my love,
you deserve all of me
but i do not deserve you.
