Sena Q.

unreal boys love like men

Published on November 8, 2017

I’m not a real boy;
I am flighty, honest,
lacking in manly wiles.

But
I love like a man.
Fiercely, sacrificially,
open, fragile.

Make me your all and only.
Hanging on by chewed-up fingernails,
hoping against hope,
a deer caught in headlights.

But
there is only so much
my mortal heart can take.

I love like a man.
