Someone's Poem

          Just once I wish I was someone's poem,

          written and rewritten in their favorite notebook,

          in smooth pen, hiding somewheres in their room.

          The poem they don't share with anyone else,

          because they want to keep it to themselves.

          The poem they cherish most and recite to,

          the shampoo bottle in their shower.

          The poem that sounds like a song in their head,

          and doesn't even have to ryhme,

          but still ends up doing so.

          The poem they wish they could give to me,

          but never had the guts to.
