and the bucket and broadway

i am 25 and trying to figure out what to do with my life, so in the meantime i am teaching myself photography and poetry. check out my poetry at www.lillianmeredith.com

on the night that you flew away

to record all your songs for real

you said you felt cheated by seeing him too

because all of the words were for him

like the muse mattered more than the words

which were yours

taking all the art from the artist,

which is you

and all the power from the beauty of your voice

simply because he lives and doesn’t love you

and while I protested

I understood too
