Take Me Home (Original Poems)

Boys Are Gross - Poem 9

Do you remember when

You were grossed out

By your parents showing their affection

For each other by kissing?

And when you told yourself that

Boys are gross?

And you would never have anything

To do with them?

Where did my 9 year old self's opinion

Go when I need it the most?

This boy...

He has captured me,

With what I didn't understand when I was 9.

Boys have love to offer.

They are not gross anymore...

They can give you their sweet smiles

And tight embraces.

And soft kisses.

Cold finger

And warm cheeks.
