My Dear Poet Oct 2021
Though the battle may not be over
consider it already won
My Dear Poet Oct 2021
I’m not broken
Just dinted

I’m not burning
Just scorched

I’m not shattered
Just splintered

I’m not dying
Just hurt
My Dear Poet Oct 2021
I  have five fingers
Raised in my defence
You accept my surrender
We shake, without offence
Till, I point with my index
Raise my thumb for a gun
Curl three fingers back
Tucked into my palm
“Bang! …Bang! You shot me
A simple twist of my wrist
You aim it back at me
A hand gun for a fist
There is no defence when standing in judgment of others
My Dear Poet Oct 2021
Everything is hard work
except these tears
My Dear Poet Oct 2021
I cannot measure up to anything
other than the best that I can be
My Dear Poet Oct 2021
I’m trying to think of a better line
than this
But I’m stuck between your eyes and
this kiss
My Dear Poet Sep 2021
You take just as much time
choosing the wrapping paper
than the actual gift
and that’s one of those things
I love about you
