Insecure
Now that I am yours,
do you still, secretly, follow me?
Wherever I go, hiding
yourself
every time I stopped walking
and look back…to take
a glimpse of you;
You thought that I noticed not
your shadow, relentlessly
catching-up in all steps I make.
Now that I am yours,
do you still, secretly, check my wallet?
If, your lovely photo stocked in it
was replaced;
Or, perhaps you’re hoping
to see love notes, from your rivals;
Or, any suspicious phone number
hidden
in-between
the bills.
Now that I am yours,
you remind me of a gray past…
that is when my father run
out of love,
for my mother;
Isn’t it enough, for you, to believe in me?
Or maybe,
just maybe, you desire to be
exactly, like my mom
living in her own ghost.
