Pygmalion by Ashley Nicole Coleman
Feb 6, 2012 Poetry
Tell it to me straight–
Are you an alien?
Because you’re sure out of this world
Wouldn’t it be great
If just like Pygmalion
You’d carve of me your perfect girl?
Leaving amateur kisses
With my virgin lips
Please just forgive me
For such sloppiness
Breathe me into life
Don’t take it away
A statue grows cold with neglect
Make me your wife
Didn’t you say?
Like lightning, our lives intersect
