I’m only a housemaid
Available to you
Whenever you want
You fulfill all your needs
And desires throughout your
World elsewhere and I
Fill in the blanks
I’m a blank
A general spot for you to
Pat on the head
There there
One line answers
Mediocre responses
I’ve tried everything I know
There’s no tiger milk that
Can suss out anything different
Than what I’ve already
Found hanging upside down
In a regular jungle of my
Own feelings nothing really
More to say sitting at a
Table for one with elegant
Fingers and casual smiles
Craving a new friend for the evening
Would be more delightful than
Hoping an old friend could
Actually read me and understand
My feelings after all these years
After all these feelings
Less feelings, less tears
Low light and the fondness
Reflecting in a strangers eyes
Stargazing across the table
A little less sad
A little less dramatic
A little less like a housemaid
