Separate Selves

Mattie Grace Levy Uncategorized

Blinded by my lips

I wanted you to see me

But you knew from the start

I didn’t know I was alone

 

I weaved the fabric of our souls

I wanted you to stay

But I kept finding holes

That would be covered by day

 

We are disjointed bodies

Connected at the seam

Singing distant memories

Of what we used to dream

 

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.
