The Lost October Poem or Someone Else's Story

He has his stories about life and love,
convinced of the climax,
gleaming from its brilliant denouement.

Revealing himself in verses and prose,
wisdom beyond his birth year,
but a boy he remains.

He insults me with his pride,
self-righteous,
revealing his innocence again and again and again.

Oh! I wish things differently.

I'm selfish with boyish expectations.
I've cared for an ego,
I've fed it over and over and over.

I'm starving.
