Poem by Doniell Cushman

No More a Romeo

I can't shake the feeling
that you know
You know when I dream of
you, or when I can't control
my memories
You're really there as I saw
​you
Once, long ago
When we were so young,
and stupid
With our hearts on our sleeves
Romeo to my Juliet
While you were there, now here in my mind only
You leave messy footprints
Messages trapped in time
And I need an interpreter
to even fathom the meanings
More complex than I can stand
Like water weight that won't drop
You entangle, strangle
Dangle my life over the edge
So you see me
A night-stalker of time immemorial
You know these thoughts
I waste time
On you
So let me go, gone
Away forever, released
No more a Romeo
Leave with your filthy impressions
Touch my heart no more
