Eve's curse, por Laura Alaniz

Eve's curse

Desperate for his attention

Knowing it will drive him away

Jealous of a game - how lame

Choking self-esteem where I lay

Desperate for his affection

Knowing he will not stray

Missing him more than he does me

Pride controlling what I say

(2014)

I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind

Does it hurt? When you prick your finger No I do this just for fun Our fingers lose feeling

Beside you I am At peace Our love A connection

To love reading Writing and words And not be able to Communicate Frustrated

A noisy restaurant Listen Focus Beyond the dishes The music

Uh-Oh! Cranky mood Throws a fit Over cereal Cheerios

To be genius means To not follow the rules You don’t have to I wish to be smart But not self-important

Beautiful legs The right shape and curve Olive color without the green That tans and doesn’t burn Until you see

No pido disculpas Por escribir Lo que siento Lo que llevo adentro Lo que vivo

To be a true artist Must they be recluses Crazy mad or sick Or even better dead Show me a healthy artist
