Child Star, a poem by Abhinav Aradhi

 

Child Star

All I wanted for you was to be adored,

Adorned,

Preyed upon like a carnivore

In a butcher shop.

 

And all you ended up wanting

Was solitude,

And the simple pleasures of

Vegetable pastures.

 

We both wanted different shades of green,

Mine glitzy and lined with velvet,

Yours in stems and spring.
