Poems
Dec 2018
Salva te ipsa (save yourself) truth !
I can save myself.
'salva te ipsa' marks my arm, a reclamation, declaration, that this body is mine!
I can love myself.
I can love myself so feircly that not even a thunderstorm dare rain on me.
I can fix my own ******* crown.
For it was my war-torn hands that placed it upon my head.
I can save myself, but for now, I'll tell the truth.
Saving myself means peace and contentment.
It does not mean having you.
Loving you is bittersweet, for this loneliness without you is all consuming.
Though you are unattainable.
You are the most beautiful start-lit sky.
Uncomparable, fleeting.
