How do I tell him

Poetry scares him
Actually beautiful words scare him
I watch him cringe when he holds his phone to read her texts
She’s generous with her words, hell, she is generous with her love.
She’s not sorry she feels..
Words dont do much for him though
They are just words that play the music of emptiness…

He likes that I’m chill
That i dont choke him with words..
He will leave her for me
He already has one foot in..
So how do i tell him
That i intend to fill up in his chest with beautiful words..
That my soul is made up of the smell of books
That if you look closely at my shadow, you can see the small letters that build my story
How do I tell him that i am in love with words..

  1. He’s been there wondering,
    what are the best words that won’t be pestering?
    Because some feelings are worth confessing,
    many times he’s been regretting,
    words with her that he’s been using,
    If she was just a tad understanding,
    then a bit easier some things would’ve been flowing.
