Poems

Egyptian cotton stains

Poem by
Odilia Solano
11 Oct 2018

I wasn't myself with you 
I loved you for being real
but my reflection was a veil 
My fears didn't allow 
the big reveal 
and you weren't in the mood for 
an ordeal 

The birds chirped outside 
you got hungry 
pulled everything from the mini bar and gobbled it down 
A total animal 
Peanuts on crisp white sheets 
I found it disgusting 
but I liked it 
My stomach growled 
I didn't eat
Now here I lie 
awake
every night 

You left your dirty wrappers 
In my bed 
You've stained my Egyptians 
Pick up the crumbs and fuck off will you 
My stomach murmurs
I should have been an animal with you 
It's better than starvation
