Thorny Poetry - 15. To a Stranger II

you called me boy

and i wondered what it would be like

to kneel before you

 

have you do to me

the things you want to do

but then, why would you want to

do them to me?

 

if i wanted to be yours

would you take me?

 

no

because we are worlds apart

and i am wrong

this body is not what you would want

 

still i wish i could belong to you

if only for a fleeting moment

 

you called me boy once

it made my heart ache

but what does it matter

 

when you are you

and i am only me

when you are you

and i am only me

 

This makes me sad.  😞  Which I suppose is the spirit of the final bit of the poem.

I guess in the end it's feeling unworthy. Which is not a good feeling, but it is a real one.
