Poetry / Fool Myself
If I close my eyes
Will this man before me resemble you more?
Will his eyes change from liquid blue to earthy brown?
If I let him run his fingers through my hair
Will they feel like yours?
If I concentrate hard enough
Will his touch even come close to the ones from you
That still linger on my skin?
If I play pretend once again, just like a little girl
And I make him my prince charming
Will he become such?
If I run my hands over his body
Will I feel like I’ve been defiled?
If I nuzzle close to his ear
And inhale his scent
Will it be his, or can I make it yours?
If I promise to lie, and say I love him
Will he let me call him by your name?
Will he push me like you do? Press me like you?
Will his hands be as firm as yours?
Will he look at me and talk to me the same as you?
If I close my eyes and wish real hard
Can I replace him with you?
Because I can’t fool myself

Great poem! The imagery was fantastic and really helped me feel like it was me speaking the words. I think people will be able to easily relate to what you are expressing here. What I really liked about this piece was the feeling of desperation throughout the verses, with the exception of the last verse, which really put the final touch on the poem with a feeling of defeat and a little bit of acceptance that this new person will never be able to replace the one you long for. My only complaint is all the ratings you have. I hate it when people have more than two or three, but that’s just me. Look forward to reading more of your stuff girly!
