Love a poet?
Love a poet who doesnt love you back?
Or maybe they do.

I had a piece of advice given to me once "Never date a poet."

We are the people who stand behind them. We are the muse. The family. The kids. The babysitter. The cousin or roomate. The husband, wife, girlfriend or boyfriend. We don't get acknowledged for our love. Our support. All we ask for is a poem. A shout out. Something that says "I love you back"
