Songs in T-Minor - 3. Pinocchio
‘didn’t you say he was gay?’
‘yes.’
‘then why would he flirt with you?’
and i know that wasn’t meant to be hurtful
she doesn’t really know what she said
but she dismissed out of hand the idea
that a man who likes men could like me
and i laughed it away
shrugged and smiled sheepishly
thought, it’s fine, she’s right, it’s okay
she just said what I think anyway
why would he like me if he’s gay?
and it’s not that I want him to like me that way
i just want to feel real
but the voice in my head says,
‘go home, pinocchio
you’ll never be a real boy.’
This was a repost from Thorny Poetry, but this poem belongs here. Thank you for reading.
