Image for the poem I

I'm not the one

 

My love, I am not her.
Strength is a burden
and I cannot be small
beneath the weight of it.

If I only held up half the sky,
I'll have been as foolish
as the wisest curl
upon my head.

The clouds have intentions
but rain has no desire,
It slips quietly
through the cracks

and I envy every drop.
