Never fall in love with a poet.

They will break you apart;

like stanzas.

You are a metaphor, a similie, an oxymoron.

Never fall in love with a poet,

they will tear you apart;

like a rought draft.

They will destroy you,

then call it art.

"There's gonna come a day when you'll feel better
You'll rise up free and easy on that day
And float from branch to branch, lighter than the air
Just when that day is coming, who can say? Who can say?"
-Up The Wolves, The Mountain Goats

I really like this, thanks for sharing.

"Dearly Beloved, We are gathered here today to get through this thing called life."

- Prince Rogers Nelson (1958-2016)

This poem hit me hard. I fell in love with a boy of the theater. He used me and it seems he used that as motivation in his life, when it turned to weight in mine. You poetry is truly beautiful.
