Deeds Must Prove It

Posted on April 16, 2020August 4, 2022 by Erin B.
I'll not disguise fanciful affection for him.
I care for nothing
in comparison.
I love him better than myself,
I know it, that proves it,
but deeds must prove it also.

Side by Side

Posted on April 16, 2020August 4, 2022 by Erin B.
Impulsive quick looks
like love
and nervous hands cold around her.
Looking for something and
nothing to say - 
side by side
the two barely grownup.

A Dance

Posted on April 15, 2020August 4, 2022 by Erin B.
We had a dance.
I loved the music,
but it sounded sweetest in the dark.
By skylight it was our devil's psalmody.

yielding to feelings.

I Did Not Love

Posted on April 11, 2020October 22, 2022 by Erin B.
It was marvelous to discover
that I
did not love.
I dare say, I seemed
all tenderness before you:
But the depth of the absurdity - of genuine idiocy,
that I could love.
I have avoided this.

Extract My Heart

Posted on April 11, 2020August 4, 2022 by Erin B.
I fear another betrayal
should be the last.
my journey was sadder than I could put down,
my history, dree, and dreary!
And not exactly a kind which I should have chosen
but never mind!
I'll extract my heart
and I'll continue whole.

Sometimes I can't stand
how I love you.
All of me
wild, deep, desperate
I am yours, don't you know?
