the most
absurdly
exhausting
of all labours
is the distasteful art
of pretending to be
someone
else
don't waste your energy on hiding who you are

just like a memorable painting

we were made to admire
each other in the distance

never allowed to break the glass
separating the masterpiece and its viewer

always trying to figure out
the meaning behind each touch of colour

and believing it means something perfect

simply because we all need something
to fantasise about

something to call beautiful in this hideous world.
we're both afraid to show our true colors

this intoxicating drink
is absurdly disgusting

yet tastes better
than watching you love her

so i rather sip on
this vision-blurring liquor,
in order to be unable
to look in the mirror
and realize

my eyes
will never shine like hers

my lips
will never kiss you as good

my body
will never feel as warm
as when you hold her

and my smile
will never be a smile

because i won't smile
as long as i watch you love her
this is such a cliché poem but it's what i feel

She Writes
I’d rather write than speak
My pen is always responsive
My ink doesn’t judge my mistakes
My paper doesn’t argue
My lines never cross me
My sentences never disappoint
And my words will never leave me
