this is maggie

By January 4, 2026No Comments1 min read

i’m sorry alyssa
i’m so sorry alyssa
i love you with finneas
it’s true
i was hideous
i wanted the crown
and they brought me down
i wanted nothing to do
with me
without you
though–

you know i love you
you know i can handle that
you know my children
will bleed and crack
not like me
not unlike you
not like us
we can be the ones
to trust
that i won’t kill you
i really won’t

and blind gomorrah eyes
won’t thrill you
they just suddenly instill
in you
the correct truth
to fill in you
the world with wonder
like i can suddenly see.
i’m basically free
because i’m not just maggie

you are blind gomorrah eyes
they hypnotize
they wonder why
no one bows down
and i wonder why
we all choose men

i don’t
so you are on my side
i am
and i am on yours.

and i wonder
if blind gomorrah eyes
are all it’s about,
and maggie says–
“it’s what we are all about.”
