You knew I was a poet, before you knew my kiss
You knew the way to become the ink in my pages, was to break my heart
You knew to become this poem, you needed a fire to start.
And so you did,
And so you did.
You pulled, the ***** trick.
Anshita Mehrotra Feb 2019
I wake up
groggy, grainy, confused
with a taste of disdain on my tongue

I tilt my head
the only speck of magic is the sunlight bouncing off your brown hair

my sadness watches you longingly
I decide,
it is enough to start the day.

i could search for metaphors
more words to describe this pain
little haiku’s, saying
i love you
and yet
i hate you
in simple words, you cheated on me,
and became the king of cowards when you cried to me, as if you had done nothing

We are no longer strangers, I say, as I hold my own hand in comfort.
We are friends, I say, as I weep away the past.
We are home, I say, as I finally smile, I am home.

...
We write about love,
like it is here, like it is whispering to us.
When most, who write about love,
are writing love,
instead of,
loss,
hurt,
and anger.

You thank me,
6 months too late, but still early in my eyes
and I want to thank you,
for that.

These words,
look a lot like the tears I want to cry.
My eyes wont budge, this heart is angry,
But my fingers type like I've forgiven you.
