I yearn for the day
That these
Soundproof chambers
Won't scream so
Inescapably loud
How does one escape what they don't want to be?
RT Naintial Sep 13
Dear,
Man of my day dream.
Please do not become man of my nightmare
as my love is not strong enough to go to a place where i had to claw my way out.
So forgive me my man.
The one i shared my fictional life with. If the signs and patterns show up i will leave through the door with the heaviest steps i've ever taken
sure my love for you will reside in my heart but i won't be there residing in a house with you.
This is a kind of prayer i plead sometimes.

If only you woke upon that final day
Woes and sorrows never been more astray

You send a prayer to who you love so
And the day that you're gone, they all will know

Picked a flower, raining petals through the yard
Each one a thought you can't discard

And when you're leaving, in place of someone's birth
Your final memories will rest here on your earth
Loved one will pass very soon. This is my silent plea that she'll spend it happy, expressive, confident, and with no regrets. A single day of the life she never got to live.

Oh please I’m begging rip my heart out…
Release my soul and make me suffer!
I’m tired of listening to stormy nights and
I’m tired of faking to everyone my laughter.

Oh please just rip my heart out
And step on the body full of regrets.
My hair holds memories with full length and all
Just walk through me and detest my beautiful soul.

Please I’m asking for your forgiveness,
I’m asking for your unreasonable touch!
You are the one who got me all fearless,
Yet you are the one who makes feel numb.

Please just listen let me talk… I am worthy
Of being loved.
My heart is ripped of, body full of plastic
I am ready to finally let all this go
I’m above the grass forever alone,
Letting myself rot in there,
Finally
I am moving on.

O one that holds the strands of fate
Weave this worthless soul a tale
From your fragile winding strings
stronger than armies of noble kings

Don’t let this wandering wretch be lost
Through your halls of ancient tales
With the ways of your silky words
Let my deeds be louder than storms and gales

Let my name be heard when the songbird sings
By your cold and placid grace
To your strands I hold and cling
Until you lift me from my lowly place
And be with you ever…. coiling.
A voice rises from the low places—
not to command, but to be remembered
in the story spun by hands unseen.
I’m so tired of loving you.
Of holding a space
you can never fill.

Your absence
is all-consuming,
constant.
It presses.
It stings in stillness.

I close my eyes,
and your face
is still waiting for me there.

I don’t want to forget you.
I just want the remembering
to stop tearing me apart.

If there’s a way
to stop loving you
without falling apart,
please-
show me how.
I’m too tired to keep trying,
and too full of you
to stop.
An honest plea to be able to let go…

i said, would you wear my shoes
you said no, you have never used such shoes, you don’t imagine you can
and i said well that’s good
wear this hat then, i said
i will walk with you in the scorching sun, maybe offer you shade
you said no, you got to make appearances
would you read my soul, i asked
you said - no, it’s not what i read
i said okay, what if i give my shoes, hats, soul, blood and flesh
no you said, you don’t feel like it
okay, i said, i’ll write everything down then
but i restrained the spill,
until my body was full of perforations
one way poetry is born
too intense to be loved

riffed on and on
about these implosions that is the world inside of me
pretty words and raw sketches did not get it any lovers
lovers that only knew to love
and everything else felt so vacuous
so lacklustre

dissect me, let me be your science and god- i plead again
but i thought i am not reaching you because my words were not adept
so i made it better and i was all the more unreachable
until maybe i thought that was fine,
i will be unreachable, sad but well

will you reduce me, let me be an atom that intrigues you endlessly

so i plea
so i plea
shamelessly
i will make you coffees and teas and potions unheard of
i will let you cut into flesh of my dreams,
we will make love in a cobweb of intricately beautiful poetic delusions
but i am tired too
the tired weary man also writes love letters
