I am trying to talk about love without biting my tongue.
VESMIRI am trying to talk about love without biting my tongue.
VESMIRStop giving your infant heart/ wrapped in blind vows/ white lies/ and a haunted past/ stop asking for love/ if you don’t know how to give any/ stop hurting others/ stop it/ stop it/ just fucking stop it.
VESMIRSomething in me is constantly at unrest.
VESMIRI am not home for somebody else’s trauma.
VESMIRSo, what ruined you? -hope.
VESMIRAll my life has been a struggle to know, what to hold on and what to let go, but still, i end up sitting in the corner of the room with a flickering candle, whimpering, naked, shuddering, lost.
VESMIRIsn’t this loneliness a strange poetry? you want everyone to read, but you are never willing to write it down.
VESMIRGrowing flowers on your tongue/ won’t make those lies/ any sweet/ saying that you still/ love me/ won’t make this/ broken trust/ change how it feels.
VESMIRHold on/ not because life will get any better/ but it’s 10 mins to sunset/ and I was wondering if we could go for ice creams afterwards
VESMIREven if you look for peace in the places you won the war, you will not find any.
VESMIRAnd that is how time heals, not by erasing but by blurring all the memories.
VESMIRAll this sadness longs to be touched.
VESMIRToo much of what I write takes me back to you.
VESMIRI will feel whatever the fuck I want to feel.
VESMIRThese poets and their metaphors lied to me/ you never felt like a mountain I wished to climb/ or a stream I would let myself float in/ or a scent I was dying to bottle in/ these poets lie when they talk of love.
VESMIRMy god! this love it will make a fool out of us all.
