Love:
Your spoken words don't only draw attention but pictures i want to be apart of.
You need not take off your clothes for me to acquire the truth cause truth be told, the truth is the sound of your voice.

It's surreal, that my serenity is because of  another human being.
A being who's got me falling like autumn leaves, and as i fall the rest of me deteriorates slowly.

Love:
I think of...the circumstances under which we became acquainted.
I was a tainted image, came with negatives, while you were picture perfect and i was trying to inherit this.

Love:
You need to hate me now, i'm selfish and i was told i need to be selfless, hence why i'm doing this...


I LOVE YOU
story of a guy who is in love with another man's girl, a guy who finds euphoria only when with that precise girl. Tariro Rudenya is her name, i told her to hate me because i need her to stay away, from the monster i've become.





This is the end of a great chapter.

It all happened unexpectedly.
My sad soul intertwines to yours.
Late night realism let us sleep happily
Cause we've been freed from broken hours.

You were the commonplace.
The new and bright haven I could confess.
But my heart impedes,
You need to be displaced.

My heart justified with my mind.
You were just a curiosity to be answered.
But when I saw your soul blossomed not to mine,
I confessed to myself that I have loved you, honestly.

You told me you know you lost me forever
Because it wasn't you
Kissing me on that train

But you paved the way to lose me
when you pushed me away
When you hurt me
again and again

You led yourself to lose me
when you didn't kiss the wounds you made
When you never even tried to apologize
You lost me in dishonesty

You lost me when you told your ex we were over,  
before I left
You lost me when you lied
You lost me in your disrespect

You continued to lose me every time you disappeared
You lost me in your selfishness
And in your spiritless attempts to mansplain
how you miss me

To build me up
just to ignore me
and stab my bleeding heart
The heart I am kissing back to life

You lost me when you never
came after me
And when you didn't make an effort
to bring me home

You lost me when you weren't there for me
when I needed you most

You lost me when you took your hurt out on me
You lost me in the hurt you inflicted on my soul
You lost me when I finally had the strength to leave
You lost me by doing nothing
when I did

You lost me in your inner pain
You lost me when you let that pain
turn you into a monster
You lost me when you let that monster
turn you into a coward

You lost me by stonewalling me
when I opened my heart
to your pain

You lost me because you don't care
more than an inch in front of you
You lost me because you say you do care
You lost me because your words bare no meaning
anymore

i think i went about this all wrong
this grief you gave me
because i skipped ahead
read the end
i fell straight through the floorboards
into bargaining
begging, anything, everything
my kingdom for your time

i brushed straight passed denial
i knew what you’d done before you did it
the forth step broke under my feet
it hit me with a vividness
it left me starving, sleepless
i laid there next to you
and felt the beast i thought i’d slain
open up it's hungry maw

my acceptance after was for my sake
a forgiveness of myself for believing you
but never forgiveness of what you did
and it was in this acceptance that i found anger
a stranger, someone who kisses my cheek
and says how tall i’ve grown but it's name i had forgotten
until now, now when it bathes me in it's fire
and i am cleansed by it, burned out of the beast’s jaw

and this cruelty i feel, it is yours alone
my pains in the past brought indifference
so often there was nothing left to fashion into hatred
but, by god, you gave me so much
so much fleshy material, patches of your selfishness
whole sheets of your betrayal, ribbons of your pettiness
/you ******* child/
i can make quilts out of your mistake
murals of this viciousness you’ve given me
i shall wrap it around my naked shoulders and sleep in it.

what do you think i am
angry about the people youre hanging out with
and not me? I'm mad because
of all this **** im going through
under the surface
you know about it
and I have to face it every day.

You know, I think i know what I am
and i figured it out because you
never want to look at me the same.
You're out with your friends
talking about stupid meaningless
garbage

*******
Im dying
oh my god
Im crying

I know you're not like them
maybe im in denial
I don't want you to be with them
I want you with me
but I am not controlling
so Ill have to live with the fact that
you're just another fake member

in my boring, unsatisfying

lonely

life.

I figured out what I am.
I'm lonely
and you made this loser the happiest loser,
until you left and he realized what he's always been

lonely

Please don't make me sit there by myself like this any longer

A sprinkle of beauty,
to deny being pretty?,
Sunned by His grace,
shown in her ways,
A drop of stubbornness,
something I'd care less,
Shy or humble,
Resist what she's able,
To make me rage seeing her diamond tears,
To turn me blue as I see her suffer,
To cure my heartache and my fears,
To stun me as I gaze upon her,
Though I've crestfallened hard enough,
Will she realise what she's made of?
Unsure of what my Lord had created,
A curse...or a blessing which will never sate.
Most beauty are denied or not admitted.Maybe beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.But personally,I feel dissatisfied by this.

Sadly today I’ve been met,
With an untimely surprise,
Which I say with some regret,
Will bring my timely demise.

It inspires naught but shame,
This way I carry myself.
Grants to me a certain fame,
Inappropriate by itself.

But I must not run away,
Must not let my courage sway,
Must take the due punishment.

So that one not distant day,
I can firmly find my way,
Be one of the innocent.

my mother sees purple
because purple lives on her flesh.

she has stains
from shoulders down.
they scatter across her back
like pressed grapes.
the juice squeezed out of them
to create a rich man’s wine.
they wrap around her legs
like grape vines.
pulling her closer to the ground
with each step.

she hides them.
when men approach her
she says
“quiero que me ames.
my body has rejected me
and even in the womb
i was mutating.”

the men love her face.
she is a woman who does not age.
they say to her
“tu eres morada.
to love yourself you must
accept the color.”
so they have all added
new shades of purple
to her body.

i think that is why
my favorite eyeshadow color
is purple.
es el color que mi mama ve cuando piensa en el amor.
