Lover | Three Avenues Bookshop Open Mic

Poems written and read by me. You have to pee - 2021 You're ready to fall To let your brain take you away Let your mind carry you off Into a peaceful slumber It's cozy being wrapped in fleece and softness Warm and secure You're on the verge of that blissful peace The brink of that wondrous dreamland When it happens: You have to pee. You’re cozy in bed Still half-asleep Still in Dream’s clutches, down in the deep Ready to stay ‘til she lets you go But there’s one thing nagging At the back of your brain Something holding your mind Even stronger than sleep Something that holds more power than dreams Something in waking Something in sleep Something you can’t ever Seem to escape Something that only happens When you’re cozy at peace Something that comes To destroy your dreams Corrupt your sleep Disrupt your mind Seek vengeance at last: You have to pee. Lover - February 2026 My lover is strong Her hands hold me Draw me into her Keep my back pressed against her chest The morning after My lover is persuasive She whispers into my ear "Stay here with me a while" Her sleep-addled words keep me there Snuggled into her My lover is tempting I can’t resist her charm Her all-encompassing presence That sweet apple in her hand My lover is poison Her words drip into my ear like a venom Her hands drag me to Hell on good days Her presence always there Seeping into my mind like a drug My lover is Death She's toxic She's a snake She's a drug I can’t get enough My lover is caring She caresses my hair with grease Wraps me in unwashed blankets Hydrates me with sorrows of my own making This new lover is strange She wants me out of bed And dressed She calls me a good girl for feeding myself This new lover is warm She doesn't burn She sustains my inner fire Gives me reason to keep cozy This lover angers me I hunger for the time I lost Those years I will never get back She doesn't let me wallow Allowing space to mourn the old while Making room for something new My lover speaks Life She's the cool wind on my face She's a meadow of wildflowers in full bloom She's a kaleidoscope of colors on my camera lens I can't get enough #depression #poetry #mentalhealth #openmic
