Poetry On Odyssey: For A Good Time, Call Me

No missed calls.

Poetry On Odyssey: For A Good Time, Call Me
Em Goss

I am still only the rehabilitation center for broken hearts.

The gardner, the farmer, the nurse, the healer, the girl that reminds you of your mother but you could never love me as much as her.

I am still the motel for the lonely, with insides made of playground for your inner child but not many children can face the dark alone, I know I couldn't.

I'll be your "call for a good time", but when the good times over I'll know to let myself out the front door and I promise I won't look back at you for sentimental value

I can help you fall out of love with me, if you let me, I'm really good at it, just fit some time into your schedule and I'll show you.

Don't you know I am the healer?

I'll plant this body into the soil and grow enough forget-me-nots into your flower patch of heart to make myself vanish, I can be your sunshine, but imagine more of a hazed over beach day, I can still burn you if you aren't careful.

If you let me I can make you whole again, whole enough to forget where you came from, my work is seamless, you can ask all of the people I don't speak to anymore.

My patchwork is impeccable and I know I can impress you, even if it's for a short time.

I can also do magic! I'm really good at making myself small to not scare you off too much, it's a trick I'm still working on but I know I'll perfect it someday soon.

I don't remember when I also became a mechanic, I'll fix you at no cost, but I promise you, it won't be enough for you to want me to fix me too.

I promise you it won't be enough for you to ask me to stay when the good time is over, so I'll keep letting myself out of the front door.

I am made up of hot air but that too comes in handy when you feel empty, I can keep you warm through the winter time, I know to be gone when the snow starts to melt.

I know when to go.

I won't be your Sunday candy or your messiah but I know I can stretch myself thin enough to keep you alive.

I know this isn't a make you an extra key kind of love, or an "I'm on my way home to you" kind of love but I'll always give you something for nothing.

For a heartbreakingly short good time, call me.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
