I made him leave me…
How do you love someone?
Without crying? Without dying little deaths every day?
Or do you immerse your whole being into theirs,
As they lay abreast, playful, and caressing your hair?
Have you ever loved someone?
Until your body shivered at their presence
Mind quivered in their absence
Unsure of this insanity and dethatched from reality?
How do you love someone?
Without a fight? Without wanting to kill them at times?
Or do you just daze out into their eyes between arguments
Make love until you erase off all your embarrassments?
Have you ever loved someone?
Until you gasped for air amidst bawling
Wished you were dead but longed to hug them
Think a million ways to run but never take a step away from them?
How do you love someone?
Without cursing them? Without ripping off your own skin?
Or do you just sway together clumsily on the kitchen floor,
Stepping on toes while the food burns on the stove?
Have you ever loved someone?
Until you sacrifice your need to be with them?
Purposely make them hate you till their grave,
Just so they can have a normal life with somebody else.
A sentence
I wish I could
write these words for you
to read or apprehend
but, you don’t like reading,
not more than a sentence
and my despair
cannot be contained,
in a mere sentence
but flows rumbling like
those thundering rivers, down
the mountains you never liked
with myriads of meandering streams
but you say, my love
I’m dry along the course
cause you love no mountains and rivers
Or me
I’ll never reach the sea
so I try and bury inside a sentence
Of 3 words and 8 letters
but you’ll never read them too
New
I never learned
What made me stronger
Made me weak too
So i confused myself till
It all broke down
Bone-dry
Vacant of all lessons
And called it new
Again
So cocoon your heart
Before it breaks
Again
Stay still and grieve if you may
Because you have to wake up tomorrow
And be brave again
