"I love you"

If it hasn't ripped apart your soul
you haven't experienced it.

Pain.
It's tempting.
Hidden in hearts
That hold onto memories.
Addiction.

Healing.
It's reluctant.
The mind fails
But it always continues.
Affliction.

How kind is your heart
I wish I could plant a Jasmine in your heart

هر روز
در کافه
قلب شما چقدر مهربان است
کاش می توانستم گل یاسمن را در
قلب شما بکارم
I hadn't seen any kind man like you

The idea of letting go is never easy
and you couldn't
Let go

especially since
the package came with happily ever after attached to it
boxed in romance
sealed with love

She was a charming blue eyed monster
with irresistible smile
enticing voice

some children were raised
feet dug down into sand
dreams washing back and
forth with the saltwater waves

others were raised
with their hands dusty
nails and hearts stained
from red dirt and poverty

but i was raised
with a translucent blue
heart and clean hands
the bottoms of my
feet black from plum wood
that touched the sky
and gray concrete that
sunk below the earth

(for some summer meant
freedom
for me it meant
dried grass

for some fall meant
leaf piles
for me it meant
the wind and rain)


in winter i was raised
under white lights
and strings of garland

in spring i was raised
under blood red cloths
of death and resurrection

life cycled on
around and around
while i grew
up and up

(the hardest part
of letting go is
the wondering why
you even bothered
the wondering why
you wasted your time

the hardest part
of growing up is
the learning that no
matter what broke
you nothing is wasted
that shapes you inside)


in the meantime
i was raised
and raised
but a child can
only be raised so far
before they fall
people change but seasons don't
