Current State of Mind

Brianna Gillespie 1992

Free verse
What am I to you?
Just a body to your advantage...
Something to hold...
With lips to enjoy...
Or a fixed sensation...

What am I to you?
A shadow in live action...
Just a sway of euphoria...
Someone to sink your teeth into...
A physical image to get you through your day...

What am I to you?
A darkened heart awaiting a colorful prism...
Overbearing and predictable...
A pretty soul...
Just a slight curve in your smile...

What am I to you?
Someone who motivates you...
A voice by your side who adores the innocence of you...
Just a temporary fix...
Someone you genuinely give a damn about...
