Honey Poem by Livi Topley

Honey



</>Oh honey you've done it again, you've taken what we had and swapped it for a cheap imitation. I used to wake you with coffee lip kisses, now I wake alone to the sound of the sea, and honey I'm better off without the pressures of you and me.
We used to walk arm in arm like age old lovers premature before our time, but honey, you sacrificed that didn't you, you pushed it all away.
Honey, I used to dream of you, buy you gold trinkets, laugh, live and feel near you, watching you take your make up off was the best part of the day, take the mascara from your eyes so I can see you for the first time, scrape the bronzer off your cheek so I can kiss them.
I dined you on high class meals, bought you six rounds of shots for you and your friends because it was the rage, the norm and the social thing to do. And when you fell out with them the next day it was no big deal. But you're so fickle.
Saturday night in and I can't breathe, I'm ambitious, so suspicious and you've held me down too many times before. I've forgotten how to fly.
Now I walk around in suits, pin stripe and neat white collar, I take out girls so much prettier than you, I chat up women now, not little girls, but honey I've got feelings and there isn't enough silk and satin to cover that up. I'll take you to London to prove you wrong, I'm cultured now, the ballet is my Friday night routine, I read Wordsworth on the tube, offer my chair to the pregnant woman, but honey, I can't think of you.
