i love poetry
unto
death or till
the watch
stops ticking

which ever comes

last.
I can wait
what it is to come
I don't know
but I will stay

all this pain
one day will go away
it's ok to cry today
tommorrow it's a new chance

in tears I stand
even if my bones break
they may take me for weak
but this is the bravest I've been
once, on my birthday,
my lover gave me a flower
that looked just like me
besides having the same name
our moods were the same

whenever I was happy
she showed different colors
and countless flowers
grew between its leaves
from the stems

so once, on my unprepared heart, straight and narrow,
my lover gave me sorrow
I was feeling blue
while the flower would just innocently bloom

I sat next to her, weeping away
and between hiccups I said
"if you knew what kind of love you came from
would you bloom that way?"
This was in my drafts since 2017, I felt so emotional reading it now
everything is the same
staying inside, nothing is changed

not a world crisis matter
I've been in quarantine since forever

that's how it's always been
I'm closed for as long as I can
I always isolate myself anyways

the song "modern loneliness" by lauv really inspired me for this one
these words are meant to hurt
they are like knives leaving deep cuts

these words are meant to change
what once was untouched
they will never be the same

The thing I am most grateful
for is that when my heart broke,
it broke open.
