I wonder what happens when I lay beside you 

Mattie Grace Levy Uncategorized

If I rest my head on your shoulder 

I wonder if I can hear your heart tremor 

 

To the beat of my nerves 

I wonder if you tread carefully with your words 

Pick and choose phrases that will make me listen 

 

Riesling over liquor 

I wonder if you have lost thoughts 

Tremble at their release and take them elsewhere 

 

Whisper without me 

I wonder if you hide your truth 

Mask feelings in sweet nothings 

 

Hide dark in the night 

Mattie Grace Levy

I'm a black woman, a classically trained oboist, a self-taught composer, and an introspective poet trying to comprehend my thoughts.
