Nothing Like Zelda

image

I’m nothing like Zelda Fitzgerald

but I can paint a beautiful picture

with the words I write on a page.

Drawn like a moth to a flame.

I guess, that’s the only metaphor

I know about being drawn

to someone like you.

You are the bright light

I wanted to seek.

You are the poetry

I read it to myself at night.

I’m nothing like the other girls

you’ve dated in the past.

They wanted attention

I just wanted you.
