  May 2020 The Untold

He says he loves me.
But of all the poems he wrote,
none had me.
The Untold May 2020
You were busy
erasing every word I said,
replacing it with someone's words.

Your words remained fixed-
   you had to adjust them to suit who was new.
because none of them will say the words I said.
The Untold May 2020
When I closed my eyes
I saw you, like I've done for the past whole month.
I was running to you-the good you
I was running from you-the you that hurt me.
This time it wasn't a fragrance nor a whisper,
It was a heart that seemed too sincere
I will always run to you in my dreams
because in my mostly childish naivety,
I dream of seeing your face and grazing it will my finger
I dream of kissing your lips and hearing you say you'd fight.
I wanna sleep forever, never open my eyes, because then we'll share a life,
And because then,
I am a teardrop and when the sun comes up, I'll fall and become a million grains of salt.
I will evaporate and no one will remember my existence... Not even you, because you've started wiping away everything.

i taste ashes on my tongue
my will drained like wine
on a wednsday night

i still feel so numb
my motivation dies like vines
left to wither with no light
this is a warning to my future self, but it also feels like dejavu
The Untold May 2020
I wish someday
I'll be considered old enough
To feel.
To feel love
To feel emotion
To feel hurt.
By then I'll be long dead.
