Letter for Karina’s Twin

apologies 

what better way to end what could 

than starting back how it first went 

 

we saw more than a poetic side 

from each other we learn to observe 

I learned possibilities are endless 

 

friendship not a lover 

what it felt like 

yet I don’t even deserve either 

 

business partner?

maybe 

but money will never be my objective 

 

you remind me of Cinderella 

no glass shoe maybe black boots 

no one telling you what to do only you 

 

I respect you I can’t lie

I don’t love you 

I do miss you 

I do appreciate you 


I don’t think we were meant to be 

I do think it maybe another poet 

I do think he maybe older than me 


thank you

for allowing the possibility of love 

be present in your presence 

 

try not to use me 

as a muse

there so much going on around you 

 

but feelings are feelings 

how can I tell you what to do 

even if you like being told 

 

maybe I’m just not that old 

school will keep me young 

if I say more I’ll bite my tongue 

 

I’ll leave with one more stanza 

thank you for a weekend 

of extravaganza
