You should have let me love you
The parcel that arrived
Full of love
Didn’t have my name
On it, but you assumed
I would know it was
For me
When I didn’t
The words we put in to each others
Mouths were bitter
Sour only sweetened
By diversions and your
Food that rounded my
Tummy and silenced the lips
Of the entitled children
You should have let me love
You, I would have been
Pleased to sweat out the day if
I knew you were coming to
Meet me at the kitchen
Door once your kids
Were asleep
I didn’t want to meet you
At the door
Happy with friendship
But the love I should have
Let you bestow
Would have been too much for me
And any positive consequence would have been too much
For you
