I’ve got nothing left to give but I keep digging deeper.
HINNAH MIANI’ve got nothing left to give but I keep digging deeper.
HINNAH MIANI remember when I was the only sin you liked to kiss.
HINNAH MIANHow does one love a person who is not a person but a multitude?
HINNAH MIANI am only beautiful when my legs are open and I have forgotten my mother tongue to make room for yours.
HINNAH MIANSomewhere in these walls we’re still dancing, feeling nostalgic and much too in my head.
HINNAH MIANI have lived too many lives to be only one thing, and instead of attempting to mesh them into a form of a human being, I have decided to love every jagged edge of mine.
HINNAH MIANI always wanted to be more than my brown skin, when you told me I was sweet like cinnamon.
HINNAH MIANHere I am, a mosaic of becomings.
HINNAH MIANMy silhouette is an ocean, your lips a sailor.
HINNAH MIANI am tired of living in a world, where I belong deeply, to anyone but myself.
HINNAH MIANI loved you in quiet because to hide is to pretend that it is okay.
HINNAH MIANSeek refuge in the space between my bones.
HINNAH MIANWhen you kissed me you breathed air into my lifeless soul.
HINNAH MIANI don’t like how your embrace feels like comfort till the knife thrust.
HINNAH MIANHow do you mourn the loss of someone who was never yours to begin with?
HINNAH MIANHe reminds me of the shadow between silences.
HINNAH MIAN
