Natalie’s Reviews > I Love You, Call Me Back: Poems > Status Update

& perhaps I have always been the snow & the pear tree.

& my one & only stone, not a stone, but a seed; my heart.

Heavy inside me it sits.

& nothing's gonna change.

‘I was calling you & it was ringing
& ringing & I knew you weren't going to pick up
but then you did & you said goodbye
& I said thank you & you said I'm sorry
& I said I know but I don't forgive you
& you said then why did you call? & I hung up’

‘Truth be told, I am not sorry for choosing myself, just lonely.

I imagine I am the kind of person who is okay with that.’

“your anger knows you deserve to be treated well and with kindness.”

i love you, call me back

I am talking about the flowers
because I miss touching you,

if only I were fuchsia l flower
all I'd ever have to swallow is the sun
