cornbread is too dry without some butter

by Olivia Weinkein

if you can love me enough
for the both of us
then i'm sure we will
eventually get somewhere
rather than always
wrestling with the shadows
we create when we turn our
backs on eachother and
look to someone else for
a comfortable hand, a
place to place our hearts
for a spell or two...
you need me.
i need you.
and
there can always be that atleast
and nothing else
if you can ever learn to love me
enough
for the both of us.

It's hard to find someone with that big of a heart, but I wish you the best of luck.

The rhythm in this piece is so comforting. Lovely.
