Today I learnt that after the Big Bang,
there was antimatter,
the mirror image of matter.
Antimatter and matter
destroyed each other when they met,
thus they annihilated everything in their path,
and the universe was left almost empty.
And I thought about how your touch
against my skin,
brought the same catastrophic destruction.
And the universe inside of me,
was left in pieces,
only to be visible through
vacant eyes and
unfinished poetry.
In your wake, you left pieces of you
embedded into my skin,
jagged scars of memories
I tried to claw out of my bones.
You tore at my skin with your spitting words
yet I held you close during your goodbye.
*"We are opposite poles of a world
I long to know."*
You were beautiful,
and I was never
brilliant enough.

love is a paper boat that sinks
i am a sailor that never learnt
how to swim.
