Playlist
A Poem
I find a reason to listen to this playlist,
built from unrequited love.
the first lines of ‘Creep’ crawl into my ears
and I swear all I can think of
is your laugh
and how your eyes twinkle
like little stars
behind windows
i find myself wishing on them
to grant me just one wish
maybe a kiss
maybe for me not to be a riddle
maybe for me to belong here
where you are
as I wish upon those stars
I find a reason to listen to this playlist
of songs that remind me of you
the first lines of ‘Creep’ crawl into my ears
‘cause I wish I could be who you wanted
all the time.
This poem is from my self-published poetry War of Will, and can be found in our shop and Apple Books.
