#cassettes - Hello Poetry

Kiss me good-bye until the thunder stops clapping, until the moon starts glowing, until we all crawl back to the fireplace, where the logs are burning and the kids are laughing. Take me to the underground, to a place I’ve never heard about. Make me forget how I’ve hurt you. Ask me questions, even if I can’t give you all the answers. Please accept my excuses, even if they’re useless. Drink coffee with me, beneath the terrace, as the smokers vape, and the drinkers guzzle. Tell me what you love about the sunshine that peeks under the rainclouds. And tell me to stop, if I’m talking too much. Because I can listen to you speak, on this cassette tape, over and over. Press play.

Cassette

Kiss me good-bye until the thunder stops clapping, until the moon starts glowing, until we all crawl back to the fireplace, where the logs are burning and the kids are laughing. Take me to the underground, to a place I’ve never heard about. Make me forget how I’ve hurt you. Ask me questions, even if I can’t give you all the answers. Please accept my excuses, even if they’re useless. Drink coffee with me, beneath the terrace, as the smokers vape, and the drinkers guzzle. Tell me what you love about the sunshine that peeks under the rainclouds. And tell me to stop, if I’m talking too much. Because I can listen to you speak, on this cassette tape, over and over.

if you get home tonight, you will find three cassettes on the table in our living room, where we shared kisses and drank coffee. on the first cassette that will be next to the full cup of cold coffee, it will be written "cassette for when you're happy", which i hardly believe you will play it. the second cassette will be on top of a letter i have written only for you, with a small amount of dry tears on the paper, and it will say "cassette for when you're sad", and perhaps this will be the most played one. around the final cassette will be nothing, the cassette will be alone, just like us, and it will say "cassette for when you feel nothing", and be careful, my darling, because i know you're often numb, just like me. and perhaps, you might get lost in this cassette, just like i was in you. that is why i am leaving now, i am lost, my darling, and i need to find the right path, the light, which in this case, is not you. *you are not my right path, you are not my light, and i am not your right path, i am not your light, but you still love me, and i still love you, even though i am leaving, and never coming back*

i found old cassettes of my bitter past, and twisted childhood under my broken bed. i couldn't stop those unwanted memories that flooded through my mind, images and flashes of blood, and screaming echoes.
