i’m unsure
how to carry you
inside me
for the rest of my life
most cherished pearl
how am i to love honestly
be grateful for a bed
or accept the stars in the sky
i have gladly given away kingdoms for you
my carriage dismantled
horses taken to market
cities burned
because he knew
i love you
helen of troy
on my balcony
causing war
did you notice
when we’re together
our eyes become the same color
One reply on “cities burned”
Lovely writing. This gives feelings a sense of physicality.
