FREE VERSE Poem: Tear me apart, by Mina Hakmoun

You could ask me anything
And I would say yes
Just to see your eyes glow
And light up my world
To see your teeth glisten in the sunlight
As your lips turn upwards into a smile
Nothing would be too much for me
To make you happy
Ask me to cook dinner, and I will stand
In the kitchen for hours
Want me to fold your laundry? I’ll say…
Yes honey

But all of the enthusiastic servitude
Has spoiled you
Has broken me

You wish for me to be a quiet girl
So I stop sharing my opinion
Want me to dye my hair?
I know you’ve always liked blondes more than brunettes
If you need a hand, I will remove my dominant
When you feel alone, I can reach into
My chest to hand you my heart so
You feel loved, anything you
Desire until I am half
Of a human
Half of a
woman
