Allusions/Illusions
Between the lines of my senior dissertation
seven times-new-romaned pages of
Shakespeare's tragic heroines
perhaps they're more you than me.
You can be my lover
I promise not to ask for anything
only everything--
My Romeo,
the one I call when rain pitter-patters
and it reminds me of you.
You always understand,
and always want my opinion
and always want my love
(even when you choke on the word)
My Othello, viciously jealous
My Hamlet, lamenting
contemplating death's sweet sting
And when I come around
I'll be your wronged Ophelia
passing bones for flowers
and you can blame this madness on me.
You may have a violet, for remembrance
a pansy, for lament
you will rue the day
you chose to love another.
Lady Macbeth, blood on my hands
damned spot, a slewn relationship
and missed opportunities
Cordelia...begging for love.
You can be my Hamlet;
I'll be your wronged Ophelia
and you can blame this madness on me.
