Let The Sky Fall (By Jasmine)

I know what a bitch periods
And the menstrual cycle can
Be. If I were there in that seat
Beside you, I would've pitched
Your head on my lap and feed
You some choco and cookies...

But, oh well, here I am, an
Ocean away. Lounging away
After a day of recalibrations,
No celebrations, no declarations.
I've no visitations, thus no 
Hesitations in recitations
Of longing for bonding with
You and You and only You.

I feel Angelica now... do you
Have to live an ocean away?
Thoughts of you subside,
And I get another poem, knowin'
That you miss me even more
Than I do. I know that you can't
Come home till your discovery
Is declared, ensnared by peer-
Review and Bureaucracy.

I don't really want to be selfish
But... Y'know, I can go back
To our Home by the end 
Of this month. But, I dunno
If you should. You have a lot
More work to do than I possibly
Could. But the vicissitudes of
Our moods should not dilute
The acute nature of your work.

But, baby, I'm beggin', beggin' you...
So put your lovin' hand out, baby.

So, any time ya need me, I'll be there to hold,
Yeah, any time I'd need you, I'd'nt be cold,
Any time we want, we can just rest in the folds
Of our bedsheets in the comfort of our wolds;
I'm on my knees when I'm beggin'
'Coz you deserve more love.

But... 
Sigh.

It's your choice, baby girl -- it's your work, your career.
Where you go, I go, what you see, I see. You steer
My heart, my life, my soul and my haughty veneer --
Let the sky fall, let it crumble, we will stand tall -- My Dear.

Solid choices for taking care of someone in the throws of cramps in the first stanza :3

I like how the second stanza flows, how the words match and rhyme and manage to give information at the same time! Feels almost like lyrics at this point!

Hmm what do you mean by "I feel Angelica"? Is it a person or a reference?

Wait here:

Thoughts of you subside,
And I get another poem, knowin'
That you miss me even more
Than I do.
Does that mean that... when she thinks a bit less abt her gf she actually gets a poem from her? (Also the way you spaced out that they both miss each other is rly neat!

That is... interesting. That Jasmine is selfish in wondering if Lavender should even come home bc of her great work. That's how you phrase it here.

Hello TheRebel20007! I came upon your work for the first time I think ^^
It's a unique piece for me. It feels like a lyric piece of a song.
I believe it to be poem about love divided by distance, I might be wrong.
It can be about emotional distance, but i believe the first suits it more since it says living an ocean away.
Maybe the narrator's lover has left to pursue their career (my observation is very surface leveled, don't mind me :)

Above everything, thank you for sharing your work.
I enjoyed the time reading it XD

Thanks for the review, BrownMatter! :p

Yeah, so, this has a bunch of references to various songs and media, and it's a part of an anthology of poems! You can check out the other ones by looking through the links on the right! :p

Oh yes! I saw the other works. I'll surely check them out! XD
