The Real You

poem by: D'Vina Dietrich
Written on Jun 05, 2021

I guess I never met you 

Because I didn't marry you 

I married my 

Safe haven 

My

Best friend

Yet

Some creature was lurking beneath

Waiting for a vulnerable moment to jump

It jumped more than once 

But I ignored it 

Didn't wanna look it in it's eyes 

Because I didn't marry those eyes 

The ones that hate me

His hands so soft in mine

The creature's tore at my skin 

His words so sweet 

The creature's so ugly

I didn't meet him

He don't exist 

The idea of who I married was made up

I married this creature 

.... And loved it. 

I finally met the real you 

And it's terrifying.
