a poem in a writer's journal

being a writer's love must be nice
it must be a feeling so enigmatic
you never know
if you're being compared to a book or a puzzle
you become the stars or do you become their sun
their journal must be filled with your name all over the pages
they must've written poems and stories within your eyes
you must be their muse
they must be your favorite good news

it must be a feeling so mysterious
it's always the question
if you're a poem or a song in their old journal
it must be nice 
to be compared to the colors in the sky
it must be beautiful to be their muse
they must've spent long nights writing about your touch
you must be honored to never feel judged

they might've written ten but given you three pieces
it must be fantastic to be the reason someone doesn't sleep at night
it must be nice to know that they write you letters
hoping they'll give them to you
it must be great to be written about over and over
it must be great to be sat and be thought about when you're away
it must be nice to be loved that way
it must be nice to dream about your house in Bombay

it must be fun to ask them all these little questions 
about their dumb notebooks
it must be nice to see them laugh as they lie
it must be nice to be written about
it must be nice to be a writer's love
it must be dreamy to be someone's muse
it must be nice to believe that they know what you wanted
it must be nice to be flaunted

it must be nice to be someone's favorite poem
it must be nice to be next to him 


sad poem but that's how i feel, captain. also i think you should read seven days in june by tia williams.
